“Life is not primarily a quest for pleasure, as Freud believed, or a quest for power, as Alfred Adler taught, but a quest for meaning. The greatest task for any person is to find meaning in his or her own life.”
– Victor Frankl
Wendy brings more than 30 years’ experience in treating children, adolescents, adult individual, and family therapy. She believes that counseling is a shared experience with the participation of the client and family (if applicable) in choosing goals and identifying when therapeutic needs have been met.
With more than 17 years of experience as a therapist at Emmaus, she employs an existential theoretical framework in her counseling practice. This approach emphasizes the importance of each individual finding personal meaning in life and supports the capacity for change through the development of new life skills.
