More about Wendy

My approach to treating OCD involves creating a safe, nurturing space where you can openly communicate your struggles. Having a solid understanding of the treatment process is crucial, so I provide thorough education about what to expect. Together, we'll develop a personalized plan that integrates the most effective evidence-based practices. You can be confident knowing you'll feel empowered and supported every step of the way. My other areas of professional focus include sex therapy, play therapy, trauma-informed treatment (including racial trauma), LBGTQIA+ affirmative therapy, and mood disorders.

Wendy is an outstanding therapist. She has guided me along my OCD therapy journey with so much skill, kindness, and compassion. She has held me accountable to the work necessary for OCD treatment and has encouraged me along every step. Her feedback is always rooted in tangible data that we can discuss and analyze together. She’s provided advice and resources that are tailored to my specific situation, and I feel welcome to reach out anytime to discuss what’s going on in my journey. I can’t recommend her counseling services enough!

Wendy is an outstanding therapist. She takes the time to listen thoroughly to my concerns, and she asks just the right questions to get to the root of the issue. She is kind, warm, and welcoming. Initially, I was hesitant to seek therapy for OCD. I struggled with sharing my thoughts with anyone for fear of being stigmatized or misunderstood. I could barely wrestle with these thoughts myself, let alone attempt to communicate my internal experience to other people. However, after my first few sessions with Wendy, I quickly came to realize that I truly was not alone in my struggles. She helped me to understand the biological factors at play in OCD, as well as the psychological/emotional processes at work too. Because of her kindness and professionalism, I knew that she was someone I could trust to help me work through this gritty healing process. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to work with such an experienced and talented mental health professional!

Wendy is very intentional with her questions, non-judgemental, and most of all gets down to business to help me conquer OCD! I always leave our sessions feeling heard, seen, and empowered with practicals to approach intrusive thoughts I may have throughout my week.
