Hi, I'm Wendy — welcome, and thank you for visiting my page.
I want to start by offering you a warm welcome and genuine appreciation for taking the time to be here. Reaching out for support can be a big step, and I’m glad you’ve taken it.
The past is a part of our story, but it doesn’t have to be the whole story, you hold the pen to your future. In our work together, I offer a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where we can explore your journey with compassion, curiosity, and care. My approach is collaborative and grounded in your unique goals — helping you move toward the future you want, at your own pace.
To support your needs and lifestyle, I offer flexible session options including video, phone, and text-based therapy.
I have experience working with a wide range of challenges, including:
Life transitions, changes, and endings
Trauma and abuse (emotional, physical, narcissistic, and domestic)
Grief and loss
Relationship difficulties
OCD, with a particular focus on Relationship OCD (ROCD)
Intimacy concerns and female life stage changes including with a special focus on Menopause.
Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply unsure of where to begin, I’m here to help. Taking the first step can feel daunting — but you don’t have to do it alone. Reach out today, and let’s take that first step together.

About online counseling

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
