Hello! I've been a Licensed Professional Counselor for over 4 years and I am here to make the process as stress free as possible. I have experience working with families, couples, adults, minors, veterans, and military families. I use a trauma-informed, attachment-based approach and utilize CBT, DBT, and Person-Centered techniques and Solution Focused strategies to help with difficulties such as depression, anxiety, ADD/ADHD, grief and loss, interpersonal challenges, communication struggles, life satisfaction and family obstacles.

You may be trying to: Find answers to questions that are holding you back from living a life that you are excited about. Heal from past experiences that are keeping you in a state of shame, guilt, judgment, and/or emotional pain. Learn ways to adapt healthy, helpful behavior which may include coping skills, ways of understanding your emotions and needs, communicating in a way that helps you build healthy relationships, set healthy boundaries, and develop a grounding connection with yourself.

If you are looking for a listener because you need to talk to about: conflict in your marriage, unbearable family relationships, step parenting challenges, frustration with ADHD - yours or someone else's, scary new life transitions, healing from a traumatic event or relationship, or a constant nagging sadness or anxiousness that just won't go away, then we should talk!

Welcome. Therapy is an important form of self-care. Anxiety, depression, grief & loss, life transitions, and relationship conflicts are often issues that lead people to seek a counselor. Or sometimes a person has experienced an upsetting or even life-threatening event. For close to twenty years I have assisted individuals, couples, and families in working through these and other concerns. While many may encounter similar difficulties, each person is unique, and your strengths, intuition, and creativity are key in your movement toward well-being.

**NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS WITHOUT A REFERRAL** Sometimes it can feel like you are stuck in a pattern and can't find your way out. It can seem like you can't stop doing things that will hurt you in the long run. You find yourself saying, "This is just how I am." The story you believe about yourself- about what you deserve - is what will manifest. That narrative will run your life until you dismantle it, & rewrite it. If you aren't running it, it is running you. " The story always wins™ ". My approach is to help you figure out where you learned these things, & discard those that cause you pain & are no longer productive.

My primary specialty is working with college students and teenagers with difficulties with adjustment, family problems, behavioral disorders and sexual abuse.

Hi, I’m Cyndi! I have a passion for helping those who are struggling. Life is hard and we all face various hardships that can set us back. I believe that healing can begin by having someone in your corner who is authentic, empathetic and compassionate. It is my mission to see, hear and understand what you or your child is facing and provide support.

*Does not take insurance* The main population I see is women and college students, with a few exceptions interspersed along the way (I’m looking at you, guys! I do work with men as well). I see 18+ only. I primarily work with college students who are working through all the things you would expect to work through in your late teens and early twenties! Anxiety, life transitions, depression, processing childhood trauma, processing your family and how it impacts you, relationship issues among partners and friends- the list goes on!

He has experience working with individuals who have endured pain and suffering, whether it be due to their own choices, the actions of others, or a situation that is completely out of their control.

Do you feel disconnected from your spouse-- perpetually trying "reach" him or her, but angry, sad or frustrated at your inability to connect? Or perhaps you find yourself distancing from your marriage partner, avoiding conflict in order to feel safe, only to find yourself "walking on eggshells." You feel the pain of disconnection with the person you love, and you feel stuck; maybe it even feels hopeless at times. If only you could re-discover the bond that somehow still exists beneath the rubble of fighting, avoiding and blaming. Or, possibly your struggles are more individual than relational?

My approach to therapy is interpersonal and relational integrated with helping you acquire tools to help manage difficult emotions, stressful situations and problem solve. I am here to help you process your emotions, learn about yourself but also build resiliency and learn coping skills.

You're an overwhelmed parent at a loss for what to do next. Teachers are calling trying to set up a meeting concerning your child. "Family time", "play", and "fun" are becoming harder and harder to fit into your busy schedule. You feel a strange sense of emotional distance growing between you and your child. You love them so much, want nothing but the best for them and yet sometimes are so stressed you lose control of your emotions and overreact. As much as your try, you can't quite seem to get back the closeness you so desperately crave in your relationship. No one taught you how to be a parent but you're doing your absolute best.
