Wendy's been counseling me for several years now. She is patient, fair, professional and patient. Her advice and guidance has been indispensable to me in working through some deeply ingrained codependent tendencies and other personality problems that other methods I've taken haven't really helped much with.
More about Wendy
- 5 years' experience

Hello! I am a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania with over 5 years of experience working as a clinical mental health counselor. I have worked with clients in diverse settings and with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, sexuality and gender issues, relationship issues, grief, and trauma . My experience has taught me the strength of each individual and the interconnectedness we are all a part of.
I believe that counseling is a partnership. My counseling approach combines a person-centered, strengths-based, and positive psychology foundation with evidence based interventions that draw from models such as CBT, DBT, ACT, REBT, and TF-CBT. In other words, I approach counseling with a focus on you: the uniqueness of who you are, the opinions and views you hold of the world, and how the choices you have made have helped you survive and gotten you this far. I provide warmth and a safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings, no matter what they may be. I am not afraid to have challenging conversations focused on positive change and am committed to offering support, empowerment, and compassion every step of the way.
You have taken a bold, brave step toward living your best life...the only way out is through!
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Wendy has literally been a life-saver for me. She has put up with on-again off-again therapy sessions with my crazy self for 3-4 years and she has always provided excellent feedback and clear cut direction for me in times of deep confusion and need.
Wendy's been counseling me for several years now. She is patient, fair, professional and patient. Her advice and guidance has been indispensable to me in working through some deeply ingrained codependent tendencies and other personality problems that other methods I've taken haven't really helped much with.
Wendy is amazing and took my therapy to a much higher level then I ever received with in person counseling.
Wendy is kind, supportive, gentle, and helps me to uncover insights and see things from different angles, allowing me to develop new perspective and process my feelings. She's a great and active listener, always sincere but has a wonderful sense of humor. I'm so glad I ended up with Wendy as my counselor!
I really benefited from Wendy’s sessions last year...she gave me some tools & a framework to help me to navigate through some issues with my relationship & life.
Wendy is great. I'm unique and not everything in ny life is cut and dry or 'normal' but she has taken the time to understand my crazy workloads and athletic pursuits and has worked a therapeutic plan around things most people would have trouble grasping. She really is great and I highly recommend her services!
She is always concerned about me, she listens and understands me but also helps me understand things to. She doesn't judge me for how I feel or if I make a bad decision.
Wendy is so amazing! After trying a few therapists and not really feeling a connection with anyone, I was starting to lose hope, but within minutes of talking to Wendy, I knew she was the perfect fit! She is attentive, supportive, and offers great insight. And she seems to really care about what is going on in my life and asks great questions. Would absolutely recommend her!
Wendy is a wonderful counselor. She is a great listener and asks insightful, thought provoking questions. Her warm, compassionate manner makes me feel comfortable and supported, but not coddled, on my journey for personal growth. She is responsive in messaging, checks in when she hasn't heard back, and works around her client's needs. She takes the time to understand who you are, what you're coming from, and what you're looking to get out of counseling/ how to achieve it together. I am so pleased to have been matched with Wendy and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
She was very thoughtful and attentive. Took notes which made me feel much mor confident in her interest in helping me.
Compassionate and kind.
Wendy is wonderful, good listener and her responses provoke me to think in the ways I need to wok on a problem succesfully.
Wendy is great. She listens well and responds in a way that shows she understands, without just repeating back what I said. She asks thoughtful questions that makes me think about my own views/opinions. She’s also very friendly.
Very helpful!
Wendy is understanding, kind, patient, and caring. She knows the right questions to ask, listens without judgement, and empowers me every step of the way. I’m so thankful to have finally found a therapist that I can connect with and truly feel heard by - I highly recommend Wendy to anyone seeking guidance and support.
Wendy has been fantastic and has helped me to come to see myself (thoughts, behaviors, beliefs) and to take direction in ways that I probably wouldn't have been able to do via advice from friends, family, my partner or even my AA sponsor. I feel like I have had a spiritual / mental growth spurt over the past few weeks, and I attribute a lot of it to Wendy's subtle and objective guidance in her timely responses to my crazy quarantine journal entries.
She is understanding when it comes to personal situations. She doesn't take one side over the other or is biased which makes me comfortable.
Wendy is thoughtful, down to earth, and easy to talk to.
Wendy is amazing. She has a gift for this.
Wendy is a great counselor. This is my first experience with any counseling and better help. Wendy listens to me and provides feedback and suggestions for me. She understands my feelings and my thought process.
Wendy is fantastic.
