About Wendy

Her background includes work at the Child Study Center at OU Health Sciences Center focusing on people who experienced physical, sexual, or emotional abuse as children or adults.

She also uses Client-Centered and Mindfulness approaches to help people notice what they value and become steadier in stressful moments.
Her work often helps people manage chronic pain, illness, caregiver stress, and the emotional fallout from adoption, abandonment, or blended family dynamics. She offers straightforward tools for communication problems, codependency, and control issues.
Wendy aims to match treatment to each person’s goals and pace. She understands that reaching out can feel risky and works to create a respectful space to try practical changes. Prospective clients are encouraged to complete the intake steps to begin scheduling.

How her approaches shape online therapy
Wendy uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. That approach can help when stress, worry, or life changes make it hard to do the things that matter. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns in thinking and behavior and practice small changes that reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy treats therapy as a collaboration and will help clients decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts techniques from different approaches so sessions feel relevant and doable.
