Wendy uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people build skills and notice patterns that keep them stuck. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify values and take steps toward a meaningful life.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are available when emotional regulation and coping skills are needed.
Sessions are conversational and task-focused, with homework when it helps progress. Wendy aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where hard topics can be named and worked through. She is clear that therapy takes effort and is intended for those ready to make changes.

Approach and online options that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed actions toward that life. It focuses on values and learning to live with difficult thoughts without letting them block forward movement. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns and behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on how people experience and express emotions and can help when relationships and attachment patterns are part of the struggle.Choosing the right approach is a conversation. Wendy works collaboratively to match methods to each person’s goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. Together they try an approach, check progress, and adjust what they do if something isn’t helping.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is low or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people share thoughts and get support between sessions or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it possible to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules while keeping the work focused and practical.
