Nice to meet you
Hello, I am Wendy. I was born and raised in Newark, NJ, and I have dedicated my career to helping empower others in telling their story. I work with clients to support them in understanding and navigating their experiences through a collaborative, integrative approach.
My approach to therapy involves drawing from different schools of thought. My goal is to explore the background of your story while building on the interconnectedness of what is happening today. I also teach ways of strengthening the connection between the body, mind, emotions, and the environment around you. I am particularly passionate about helping clients strengthen the mind-body connection through mindfulness-based breathwork and meditation.
