About Wendy
Wendy holds a master's degree in Counseling and Human Development from Radford University and bachelor degrees in Communications and Psychology from Virginia Tech. She has practiced for about 15 years and has been a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia since 2014. Her background includes work in public and higher education, a private agency, and within a religious setting.
In sessions she mixes client-centered listening with structured tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused methods. She also uses trauma-focused techniques when past events are getting in the way of daily life. The work is aimed at identifying clear goals and building practical steps toward them.
Wendy emphasizes collaboration. Early meetings focus on understanding why someone is seeking help and what success would look like for them. From there she helps people develop coping skills and small experiments they can try between sessions.
Her style is straightforward and goal-oriented while remaining attentive to each person’s unique history. She helps people sharpen communication skills, address family of origin patterns, and find clearer purpose in work and relationships. The aim is to create manageable change and greater personal satisfaction.
