Get to know Wendy

Why did you decide to become a counselor?

I have always wanted to be a social worker because I really enjoy helping people. Growing up people would always come to me and I was the problem solver and I became good at listening and helping others figure out their problems.

What type of clients are you most excited to work with?

Clients that know that therapy isn't always comfortable but come to session anyway.

What do you do for fun/on your time off?

I enjoy playing with my dog, traveling, and spending time with friends.
