I have a passion to help individuals reach their optimal potential by using evidence-based practices CBT,DBT, ACT, Solution Focused within a "whole body centered" and integrative approach.
Dr. Cindy works with adults across all walks of life — from high-achievers navigating burnout and identity shifts to individuals rebuilding after difficult seasons, to those who simply know they're capable of more and are ready to stop getting in their own way. Sessions draw from somatic (body-based) therapy, cognitive behavioral frameworks, and trauma-informed clinical practice. Clients come in feeling reactive, disconnected, or quietly overwhelmed — and leave with a clearer sense of themselves, stronger emotional regulation, and the internal tools to navigate whatever life brings next.

What if your anxiety, self-doubt, and exhaustion aren’t signs that something is wrong—but invitations to reconnect with your deeper self? The world feels heavier than ever. The pressure to keep up, the unpredictability of what’s next, and the demand to perform can leave you wondering—How do I move? Where do I belong? How do I reclaim my power? Feeling highly anxious/emotionally reactive/disconnected from your body can create cycles of overthinking, burnout, and self-doubt. You may find yourself “performing” success while secretly battling imposter syndrome and the weight of past experiences shaping how you move through the world.

As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community myself, I am passionate about providing affirming therapy for adolescents and adults navigating identity exploration, coming out, relationships, self- acceptance, and the challenges that can come with living authentically in a world that doesn't always make that easy.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted for exactly who you are. Together, we'll explore the patterns, experiences, and beliefs that may be keeping you stuck while building practical tools to help you navigate life's challenges with greater confidence.

You’ve always been the one others can count on - the responsible one, the helper, the caretaker. Maybe you’re an eldest daughter or you grew up feeling like a parent before your time. On the outside, you seem to have it all together, but inside you may feel anxious, exhausted, or weighed down by guilt, overthinking, and self-doubt.

Taking the first step toward therapy is already an act of courage — and you already have more strength than you may realize.
Treatment is most effective when grounded in empathy and genuineness. Sessions are collaborative and grounding, with a focus on uncovering unique strengths you already possess and finding practical ways to move forward with confidence and intention. It would be an honor to walk alongside you.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.

What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.

Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.

How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
