I believe that your relationships are truly yours. My therapy approach is to be a process consultant to help you find your most authentic self in the relationships and make them balanced and trustworthy as possible. I do not believe in forcing yourself to love someone, and I see the most challenging part of the therapy is to allow yourself to be vulnerable around your loved ones.

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.

Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, or a difficult life transition? I work with clients who want practical tools to cope, heal, and create meaningful change. Many of my clients feel stuck in patterns of self‑criticism, emotional overwhelm, or all‑or‑nothing thinking that make it hard to move forward.
Alongside these issues, I have a special interest in helping clients transform their relationship with their body, food, and self‑care. This might look like feeling ashamed of your body, using food or exercise to cope with emotions, or struggling to maintain healthy routines even when you truly want to feel better.

Making the choice to attend to personal or relational healing is an act of courage. The courage to show up. The courage to be seen in all the beautiful, difficult and complex parts of being human. As a fellow traveler on the road to growth, we all need help along the way. The stigma of counseling is, thankfully, moving aside and making way for us to create purposeful living as well as strong, secure relational bonds that have far reaching benefits for couples and families. I have a collaborative and humanistic approach to co-creating an environment where you feel safe, seen and honored.

Immigration processes can feel overwhelming when emotional experiences must be clearly understood and documented. You may be carrying fear about separation from loved ones, stress about your future, or pressure to explain deeply personal experiences in a legal setting. When so much depends on clarity, it is important to feel respected, supported, and accurately understood throughout the evaluation process.
