Wendy has spent much of her career supporting people across different identities, including members of the LGBT community. She bases her work on respect and collaboration.

Wendy often meets people who are facing tough interpersonal problems. She helps when conflicts with partners, friends, coworkers, or family are causing anxiety, depression, or driving unhealthy coping like substance use. She also supports people dealing with grief, life transitions, and sexual or intimacy-related concerns. Her practice addresses a broad range of issues including ADHD, bipolar disorder, addictions, sleep problems, and self-esteem.

Her approach blends client-centered listening with practical techniques. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot patterns of thought and behavior. Wendy also draws on psychodynamic and narrative ideas to help people make sense of repeating patterns and personal stories.

Sessions focus on building trust and setting real goals together. Wendy aims to create an atmosphere where people can talk honestly and try new ways of coping. She works at a pace that fits each person's needs and comfort level.

Based in Massachusetts, Wendy offers therapy that considers life context, relationships, and identity. She is comfortable addressing complex issues like caregiving stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, and concerns related to aging or cancer. Her style is practical and grounded in everyday solutions.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding your experience and building a trusting relationship. It emphasizes listening, acceptance, and working at a pace you find comfortable, which helps when issues feel overwhelming or unclear.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and then tries small, practical changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or sleep problems. Mindfulness-based ideas teach simple attention practices that can ease stress and improve emotion regulation.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Wendy will talk with you about your goals, try a few methods, and adjust based on what helps most. She aims to match methods to your concerns and preferences rather than sticking to one single style.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let you have a face-to-face conversation; phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a check-in fits a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging can support ongoing reflection between sessions or suit people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
