Can you relate to feeling overwhelmed by your responsibilities at work and home? Instead of waking up feeling refreshed do you feel drained or worried from the start? Maybe you’re having trouble falling or staying asleep, low appetite or overeating? Or maybe your never ending to do list leaves you feeling unmotivated and not knowing where to start. Perhaps you struggle with making decisions or sticking to the goals you set out for yourself only to feel defeated and frustrated by your efforts to a better version of yourself. Envisioning a brighter future can seem impossible when clouded by a never ending sea of negative thoughts.

Congratulations on taking the first steps to Elevate Your Life! Welcome, I'm Wendy, and I am dedicated to helping you navigate life's challenges and achieve your fullest potential. As both a licensed therapist and a life coach, I am able to support your journey toward personal growth and well-being whether it be through traditional mental health therapy, or through life coaching sessions. While both services aim to help you improve your life, they differ in their approaches, goals, and focus areas. I am here to help you choose the right path for your needs.

Are you experiencing feelings of abandonment, rejection, worthlessness, helplessness and hopelessness. Are you at a crossroad in life and you don't know what to do? Do you feel like your relationship seems stagnant?

I will use the experience I've gained through previous employment along with my education and the guidance of the Holy Spirit to equip you with the necessary tools to make the best decisions that will enhance your life to the maximum potential.

I always look forward to working with individuals who are motivated for self growth and change. The hardest and most courageous thing that a potential client can do is to reach out for help and admit to themselves, "I think I might need some help." Expressing the need for help to someone, especially loved ones is a big deal, and I am here to help guide you towards meeting your goals, whatever they are. I believe we are all seeking peace, happiness and love in some shape or form. So let's work together to make those goals an attainable reality.

My goal as a therapist is to support you during difficult life transitions.

As a Certified Advanced Grief Counseling Specialist, I can help you with the difficult emotions that are associated with these changes. Our sessions would focus on finding the root of your symptoms, processing your grief, and starting your healing journey.
