Wendi specializes in treating a wide range of mental health ailments. Here, you will find detailed and useful information about various mental health conditions and their management.

  • If you suspect your child has ADHD, you might already be buried underneath daily phone calls from teachers about their behavior, tantrums after school, crying spells when homework is mentioned. There is nothing harder than watching your child suffer. Getting a proper diagnosis and treatment that works can be life changing. Together we can decide what treatment is best for your child: behavior management, medication, or both.

    If you are an adult with ADHD, you are probably aware of the hits to your self-esteem that it can take. Maybe you have started to believe that you’re lazy or just not very smart. Getting the proper diagnosis and treatment can fundamentally change the way you feel about yourself.

  • I have excellent experience working with all types of anxiety (generalized, OCD, Panic, adjustment). I have helped clients of all ages manage these incredibly painful disorders by building trust, prescribing and managing appropriate medications, and helping with lifestyle changes.

  • While there aren’t any medications that are FDA approved to treat autism itself, there are many medications that can effectively treat the symptoms: anxiety, frustration, anger, depression. If your child is overwhelmed and upset on a daily basis, perhaps it is time to consider if medication can be helpful. I can help to walk both of you through that difficult decision.

  • Depression doesn’t discriminate. It can hit at any age and so many people are afraid to ask for help. Everyone deserves a safe place to discuss what they’ve been going through and to find the relief they need. I have excellent experience differentiating between sadness, grief, trauma, depression, bipolar disorder, and other disorders that can present in similar ways. If medication is indicated, I can walk you through the options so that together we can choose what is best for you, offering the most relief while avoiding potential side effects.

  • If you have bipolar disorder (I, II, or cyclothymia), your pain and suffering may feel unavoidable, but thankfully Bipolar Disorder is a very treatable psychiatric condition. Help is available! But help is available! I will help you choose the right medication for you and walk you through everything you need to know to guard your health and your mental health.

  • The intense mood swings, unstable relationships, fear of abandonment, and self-harm that characterize borderline personality disorder are often debilitating. So many individuals with this disorder are carrying a lifetime of trauma. There are medications that can make your life more manageable and less painful. I would love to get to know more about you so that I can provide education on treatments and medications that can help to ease your suffering while you pursue life changing therapy.

  • As a society, we do not talk enough about loneliness and anxiety that plagues new mothers. Every mother I work with in the post-partum period thinks she’s alone in her suffering. I want to hear about how you’re feeling and lead you to the help you need. I am well versed in the medications that are safe for pregnancy and breast feeding and can walk you through that decision.

  • If you are dealing with Schizophrenia or another Psychotic Disorder, you already know the fear and pain associated with these disorders. The good news is that oftentimes medication can be very helpful. I understand that this can be a scary decision when you are struggling. I offer the support and patience you need to find an option that works for you. I will be open and forthcoming about how medications work and what possible side effects to consider.
