Everyone has periods in their life when they need professional help and I view therapy as an aspect of maintaining good health. Through my personal experience and in my practice, I focus on integration, skills training, and a strengths-based approach toward healthy living. When clients enter therapy, many are ambivalent about their goals, feel uninspired, unfulfilled or are facing a life crisis. I provide therapeutic support and creative processes to promote overall health and wellbeing, helping clients resolve their concerns and learn meaningful, easy to implement skills toward creating lasting happiness in their lives. This is an invitation for support as you deeply commit to yourself toward living your dreams. I offer challenging exercises, motivation and support as you discover a more fulfilling, engaged, joyful purpose in life.
I am licensed in Illinois with 10 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & career difficulties. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes courage and you should feel proud for getting started!

I joined Better Help at a pivotal point in my life and Wendy has been a consistent guide through a difficult growth period. She has helped me to see myself as I should and to work through my emotions and trauma with love and understanding for myself. I am grateful to have her as a friend and a guide.

I've been speaking with Wendy for coming up on a year. She met me at probably the worst time in my life and really helped me build the skills I needed to get myself back to being me. She helped me view things from all perspectives and showed me things I could do in times of crisis to calm myself down and get back to focusing on the things that matter. I appreciate the non-judgmental space she created and would fully recommend Wendy to anyone!
