With nearly 30 years of experience supporting children in schools and the community, Wendi has seen firsthand how life’s challenges can affect young hearts and minds.
Her journey began as a classroom teacher, where she witnessed the academic, social, and emotional pressures children face every day. Watching students struggle with anxiety, big feelings, or difficulty navigating school inspired her to become a counsellor. She wanted to offer deeper, more meaningful support to help children thrive.
Today, Wendi is a Registered Clinical Counsellor and school counsellor who works closely with children and their families to create a foundation of safety, understanding, and emotional growth. She supports children in building confidence, managing anxiety, developing coping skills, and navigating life’s transitions. Every child she works with receives personalized guidance that honors their unique strengths, temperament, and needs.
Wendi’s approach is child-centred, connection-focused, and informed by attachment theory, family systems, and mindfulness practices. She creates a warm, safe environment where children feel heard and supported. For parents, Wendi offers guidance, insight, and tools to help children flourish at home and at school. She sees parents as partners in the therapeutic process, collaborating closely to ensure progress is meaningful and lasting.
