Professional Bio

Welcome! I’m Wendy who goes by “Ari,” a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience working with clients of all ages and backgrounds. I’m especially drawn to working with clients navigating significant life transitions. These moments, though often messy and challenging, are sacred opportunities for growth and self-discovery.

During my 20s and 30s, I lived and worked in Germany, where I witnessed both the beauty and complexity of humanity in deeply personal ways. When I returned home, I completed my MSW at age 40 and became fully licensed as a clinical therapist in 2018. My commitment is to meeting each person with respect, presence, and compassion, right where they are at in their healing journey.

I consider it an honor to walk alongside clients, collaborating to create safe space that supports their unique needs and lived experiences. What I value most in this work is the opportunity to slow down and share meaningful time with clients. When we show up fully and deepen our self-knowledge, healing becomes possible for all of us. In our sessions, I promise to be present, to listen with my full attention, and respect your story.

With appreciation,

“Ari” Wendy Kloke, LCSW
