Hello and welcome!
I'm Wendy, Founder and Director of Artemis Mental Health Counseling and the Creative Relationship Center. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Divorce Mediator, Family Business Mediator, and perhaps my favorite: an Enneagram Couples Coach.
As a young therapist, I thought I knew everything I needed to be good at my job. I worked hard, credentialed, licensed, and was constantly learning new techniques to help my clients.
What I didn't know was how drastically my own life would change throughout the years. Each hurdle, roadblock or devastation was there to offer me the insight and opportunity to gain more confidence, create healthier boundaries, develop better self-acceptance, and reshape my perspectives.
I am not the same therapist of the past. Having restarted my practice several times due to financial disruptions, relationship gaslighting, divorce and traumas, I realized that regret, anger, and guilt are a complete waste of time. Over the years, I learned resiliency, dependability, and interdependence instead.
After a bad car accident in 2021, I wondered what the Universe had in store for me next! This led to the opening of ARTEMIS Mental Health Counseling and Wellness!
I understood that all the starts and stops in life are meant as “true” learning -- each fulfilling a purpose in its own way, even if it was not what we hoped for.
For everyone, our own journey of lessons presents an opportunity to integrate our past with our present, so that we can heal ourselves and learn to accept our lives in a more positive and productive way.
After over 35 years of Relationship Work, I have opened my practice to new, young therapists who possess a more advanced knowledge of therapies and techniques in numerous areas so we can help all our clients.
Our purpose is to help you as individuals and couples, get to the core of your issues: to grow, understand, connect, and be heard with dignity and integrity. Unstick yourselves from past destructive relationship styles and relate more honestly and clearly… giving you the tools necessary for an incredibly successful future.
On a personal note, I love to write, dance, garden, make herbal medicine, practice Reiki and hypnotherapy, and have fun being the radio voice of many local businesses. I am the mother of 6 amazing children, and grandmother of 3 of the smartest and cutest children in the world!
So -- let's co-create a life for you, too!
Here’s to improving the most important relationships of your life, starting with the relationship with yourself!
Wishing you hope, love, and peace on your journey,
Wendy
