She is comfortable addressing adoption and foster care, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and challenges that show up in parenting or family roles. Her approach emphasizes respect for each person's story and pace. Wendy aims to form a genuine connection and to be a practical partner in change. She helps clients identify what they want to work on and chooses tools that fit those goals. The result is therapy that stays focused on everyday problems and steps people can take between sessions. She practices in Massachusetts and conducts sessions in English.

How Wendy’s approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead to build a trusting relationship and practical goals. This approach helps when someone needs a therapist who will reflect back what matters most and adapt at each step.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) concentrates on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that maintain distress and then practicing new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and managing stressful life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy collaborates with each person to decide whether client-centered listening, CBT skills, or DBT techniques will best fit the goals and day-to-day demands. Together they set priorities and choose exercises that can be tried between sessions.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use tools and worksheets during sessions. A clear plan for how to use the session time helps keep online therapy focused and practical.
