We don’t have to do all of it alone. We were never meant to.

My Approach
My name is Wendy (she/her) and I would like to help you live your best self-aware life. My approach is holistic, empathic, and non-judgmental. Together, we can create a customized counseling plan to get to the root of common life challenges and empower you to be the strongest version of yourself. 

I work with individuals from all walks of life. I particularly enjoy supporting women who are negotiating life's challenges. I began my career as a nurse and eventually found my way into community mental health. After years of working from a medical model I pursued a Masters in Counselling to deepen my understanding of the mind-body-spiritual connection within psychology. This translates into my holistic approach to mental wellness.

I care deeply for my clients and go the extra mile by making out-of-session suggestions of readings, podcasts, and webinars to supplement your journey. Congratulations on making this first bold step. It is not an easy one but seeking help is a sign of strength and only the beginning of a bright new future.

Childhood Emotional Neglect and Victims of Narcissistic Abuse
Childhood Emotional Neglect happens when caregivers fail to respond enough and appropriately to a child's emotions. The child responds in a self-protective manner by closing themselves off to their emotions; meaning they may go through adolescence and adulthood lacking full access to a potent, vital ingredient from within and consequently have triggers without understanding why.  In our work together, we will grow your awareness and help you to recognize, validate, and connect with your feelings. Victims of Narcissistic abuse, either from partnerships or from childhood, is another area I have competence in. This work is rooted in emotional awareness, connection, and strengthening self-worth. I will help you recognize the situation and consequent fall out.  Together we can develop a plan to help you not only survive the trauma but learn to thrive again.
