Meet Wendy

Feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in painful patterns can make it hard to believe things can get better—but you don’t have to navigate that alone. I have over 20 years of experience supporting individuals managing anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, bipolar disorder, substance use, and relationship challenges. My approach is grounded in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), helping clients build practical skills to regulate emotions, improve relationships, and create a life that feels more stable, meaningful, and fulfilling. I balance direct support with warmth, compassion, and authenticity, creating a space where you can feel understood while also making real progress toward change.

We can work together to help you build a life worth living.

Interests

Based in Nashville, I provide online therapy to clients across all of Tennessee, including Memphis, Knoxville and Chattanooga. Together, we will build a life worth living. I believe visual art, music, and literature are the essential sparks for the passion we need to change. We move beyond clinical talk to embrace Loving Kindness—the active process of understanding how to make yourself happy. I invite you to take the first step with me today.
