I am a master’s student in counseling at Benedictine University and I believe therapy is most powerful when it offers people a space to be truly themselves. I strive to build a therapeutic relationship rooted in genuineness, empathy, and trust.
My clinical approach is grounded in client-centered principles, meeting each person where they are. As a certified yoga instructor, I bring meditation, breathwork, and movement into the therapy space, helping clients strengthen the connection between mind and body as part of their healing process.
Many of the people closest to my heart are part of the LGBTQ+ community, and their stories have shaped my deep commitment to creating an affirming, judgment-free space. I also have a particular passion for working with couples, drawing from EFT to help partners deepen their emotional connection and navigate communication with greater openness and understanding.
Outside of the therapy room, I recharge by biking nature trails, playing video games, saxophone and guitar, and spending time with loved ones.
Wendy is a client-centered therapist who believes that therapy should fit you, not the other way
around. She draws from an eclectic mix of evidence-based approaches, including:
✔ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – to help shift unhelpful thought patterns
✔ Gestalt Therapy – often including creative, dramatic roleplay techniques
✔ Existential Therapy – to explore meaning, purpose, and identity
✔ Motivational Interviewing – to help you tap into your own strengths and motivation
Each session is tailored to your needs, goals, and pace. Wendy would be honored to walk with you as you discover greater clarity, healing, and joy.
