You're doing everything you're “supposed” to be doing, so why does everything feel so heavy? Maybe you're the friend everyone leans on but no one checks on. Maybe your emotions go from zero to a hundred, and the shame that follows lingers longer than the moment itself. Maybe you're facing a transition, a new school, a new job, a relationship ending or beginning, and everyone keeps asking about your plans when you're just trying to get through the week. I work with youth and adults who are tired of pretending they are fine. Therapy with me won't feel like being analyzed from across the room or handed a worksheet and sent on your way.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or constantly in a state of stress or burnout?

The journey to finding the right therapist can indeed feel daunting and challenging. It's perfectly normal to question whether counseling is the right path for you, or if it might bring up painful memories. You may even worry about being judged for not having everything figured out. Please remember, it's okay not to have all the answers. You're not alone in this journey and there's no need for you to bear these burdens silently. You are deserving of support from a highly-skilled professional who has a genuine passion for helping others and can provide hopeful solutions tailored just for you.

Have you spent years in therapy but still struggle with loving yourself and feeling like you’re not enough? For over a decade, I’ve been committed to alleviating human suffering by helping individuals navigate self-doubt, low self-esteem, anxiety, and challenges with self-love & confidence so they can perform better at work and create fulfilling relationships on their own terms. While problems are a natural part of the human experience, I believe prolonged suffering does not have to be. My perspective is shaped not only by clinical training but by lived experience.

Cindy believes humans are physical, mental, emotional, sexual and spiritual beings thus the goal of therapy is to obtain health in all areas of one's being. I believe a client takes the first step to healing as soon as the counseling appointment is made. It's a privilege to observe transformation in a client on the road to hope and healing by focusing on the strengths from within the client. It is exciting to watch a couple go from the brink of divorce to a marriage better than ever.

In person Waitlisted. I help clients understand what drives their behaviors and identify changes that have been hard to sustain alone. Together, we uncover patterns that keep them stuck and create lasting shifts. Clients learn that life isn’t black and white—embracing its gray areas brings clarity, flexibility, and healing. They reframe unhelpful thoughts, gain new perspectives, and feel empowered to move beyond self-defeating beliefs.

When clients have a session with me, I want them to feel comfortable and safe. Often times, the very things that keep us in a cycle of mental, emotional, and spiritual turmoil are difficult to explain in words. Just being able to say how you truly feel- out loud to someone who is really listening, can be so freeing for a person. Letting go of old thought patterns and identities that no longer serve you now is true healing. If you're willing to do the work, then I'm willing to support you in your healing journey. Telehealth sessions only-no in person sessions available.
