I understand reaching out for help can feel overwhelming. Maybe you’ve been struggling with anxiety that keeps you up at night, depression that makes daily life feel heavy, or ongoing stress that feels impossible to manage. Perhaps you’ve tried to push through on your own but realize now that you need real support. You are not alone, and you don’t have to do this by yourself.


Hello, my name is Wendy, and I’m honored to support you on your mental health journey. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), I provide compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to your needs at every stage of life.


Together, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan, whether through therapy, medication management, or both, to help you find balance, confidence, and renewed joy in daily living. My approach is collaborative, safe, and stigma-free, with your voice at the center of every decision.


Mental health is more than managing symptoms; it's about building resilience, wellness, and the strength to thrive. If you’re ready to take the first step toward healing, I’m here to walk with you.

My Approach

Your mental health journey is unique, and you deserve care that truly understands that. My role as a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner is to offer thoughtful, evidence-based support that helps you find clarity, balance, and lasting well-being.


What to Expect:

  • Personalized treatment – No one-size-fits-all approach; your plan is tailored to your specific challenges and strengths.
  • Holistic care – Beyond symptom relief, we focus on wellness, confidence, and your ability to thrive.
  • Guidance you can count on – You’ll never be left to figure things out alone.
  • A safe, stigma-free environment – A place where your story is heard, respected, and valued.
  • Support at every stage – Whether you’re a teen, adult, or navigating life changes, you’ll find steady encouragement here.

At You Bridge Health, we believe you are more than your struggles. You are capable of healing, growth, and living a life that feels whole and meaningful—and I would be honored to help YOU get there.

Step 1: Comprehensive Evaluation

We Begin with Listening and Understanding

Your story is the starting point. In our first session, I will listen closely to understand what you are going through emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. We will explore your challenges and strengths to create a foundation that feels safe and meaningful for you.

As the founder of You Bridge Health, I carry this work close to my heart. I believe every person deserves to feel supported, respected, and safe as they walk through change.


I hold your story with care, and I will always show up as a partner, not just a provider.


Whether you’re facing anxiety, burnout, ADHD, or just the feeling of being “off,” I’ll help you make sense of it. We’ll find your path back to peace, power, and clarity, together.


This isn’t just a job for me. It’s a calling.
