Hi. I have quite an extensive work history in the social service field all leading to my present and most rewarding position as an Independent Clinical Social Worker/Therapist. All my years of being in this field has given me the opportunity to work with a very diverse population, including the LGBTQIA community.
I particularly enjoy working with people who struggle with interpersonal conflict whether it is with self, a friend, spouse/partner, professionals, parents, children, teachers/professor’s, etc., which all can be very difficult to maneuver through at times. These conflicts can cause immense anxiety, depression, confusion, sometimes leading to substance use and other issues/behaviors that you may want to address. My treatment approach is varied and includes a humanistic one of acceptance allowing for a building of trust and collaboration between us as well as evidence based practices of cognitive behavioral techniques, psycho-dynamic therapy, and motivational interviewing.
"While there's life, there's hope" I look forward to hearing from you!

Wendy is an awesome person and therapist. She is very smart and she has the ability to cut right to the heart of the matter. She isn’t just a passive listener, but an active coach who really encourages you to look at different angles; she pushes you to face stuff. I have had a lot of different therapists and Wendy is the best one. She is easy to talk with, too. Wendy is kind, flexible and chill, while also being sharp and attentive. I have nothing but high praise for WF!!

What an insightful pleasure it has been to work with you over the last month. You have helped me get a clearer picture on what my work is, and I think that the challenge to trust myself is quite worthwhile. I thank you for your consistently accurate reflection and your unwavering respect for who I am as a unique individual.
