About Wendy

Background and approach
Wendy favors a person-centered approach. That means she listens closely and works with each person to set clear, realistic goals. Sessions focus on small, concrete steps that fit into daily life rather than abstract theory.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She aims to create a space where clients can talk through feelings, practice new ways of coping, and try different strategies between sessions. Progress is measured by what matters to the client, such as reduced worry or clearer communication.
Wendy’s background includes work across settings in Oregon and Washington. She brings experience with gender diverse and transgender youth from prior roles, and she draws on that history when supporting people who are navigating identity or LGBT-related stress. Parents and caregivers also find her practical focus helpful when managing family strain.
How evidence-based techniques fit into online care
Many therapists use a blend of evidence-based techniques that focus on thinking patterns and present-day coping. Cognitive approaches help people notice unhelpful thoughts and practice alternative, more balanced thinking; these methods often help with anxiety, panic, and mood conditions. Skills-based strategies teach concrete tools for managing stress, handling difficult emotions, and improving relationships through clear communication and behavioral experiments.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, strengths, and what has worked before. Together they choose methods to try, then adjust the plan based on how those strategies feel and whether they lead to the changes the person wants.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full in-person session is hard to arrange. It can also let people use different tools between meetings, such as worksheets and practice exercises, to keep progress moving forward.
