Hey there! I’m Cindy. Life can get to be a lot. Between the anxiety, the ‘blah’ days, the many hats we wear, unexpected life-quakes and that feeling of being stuck on a mental hamster wheel, it’s easy to lose sight of who you are underneath it all. That’s where I come in.
I help people get unstuck, not by throwing clichés or toxic positivity at you, but by working together to find what actually helps. I use a mix of Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and EMDR, two powerful tools that help your brain let go of the stuff that's been living rent-free in your head.
Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you but about helping you reconnect with your resilience, humor, and humanity. Healing doesn’t have to be heavy all the time. You bring the real you; I’ll bring the tools, compassion, and maybe a few bad jokes along the way. Together, we’ll help you move toward a calmer, more authentic life that actually feels like yours.
