About me

Hi, I’m Cindy—a trauma-informed therapist and EMDR specialist dedicated to helping you reclaim your peace, clarity, and confidence. If you’re moving through a major life change—divorce, loss, a career shift, empty nesting, or the heavy responsibility of single parenting—you’ve likely been carrying far more than you share. The anxiety, overwhelm, and emotional exhaustion don’t have to be your “new normal.” You deserve support. In my work, I help women and men untangle the experiences that keep them feeling stuck. As a trauma-informed therapist trained in EMDR, I provide a safe space to process the past, calm the nervous system, and create meaningful shifts that last. My style is warm, direct, and deeply compassionate. I’m here to walk alongside you—not judge you. Whether you’re trying to make sense of a painful chapter, rebuild your identity, or simply feel like yourself again, we’ll work together to create balance, confidence, and a life that feels aligned with who you truly are. You don’t have to navigate this season alone. I’m here when you’re ready to take the next step.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

What to Expect in Your First Session Your first session is a gentle, welcoming conversation—nothing to prepare for, nothing to get “right.” It’s simply a space for you to exhale and share what’s been going on at a pace that feels comfortable for you. We’ll spend our time getting to know you: • What you’ve been carrying • What brought you to therapy now • What you’re hoping to feel, understand, or change • What support looks like for you in this season of life I’ll ask a few background questions about your history, past therapy experiences, and current challenges—not to overwhelm you, but to help me understand your world and how to support you best. From there, we’ll start building a plan together. You’ll never be rushed. You’ll never be judged. And you’ll always have a say in the direction we take. My goal is for you to walk out of your first session feeling heard, supported, and hopeful—knowing you don’t have to navigate this alone.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

What Makes Me Different as a Therapist What sets me apart is my ability to combine deep compassion with clear, grounded guidance. As a trauma-informed therapist trained in EMDR, I help clients not just talk about their struggles—but truly heal from the painful experiences that keep them stuck. My clients often tell me they feel safe with me quickly because I’m warm, honest, and easy to talk to. You’ll never be judged, rushed, or expected to have everything figured out. Together, we’ll explore what’s been weighing on you, make sense of your patterns, and create realistic steps toward balance and peace. I’m here to help you: • Understand what’s driving your stress, anxiety, or overwhelm • Break old cycles that no longer serve you • Build confidence, clarity, and emotional resilience • Experience real, lasting change—not just temporary relief If you’re ready to feel more grounded, connected, and in control of your life, I’d be honored to support you every step of the way. If at any point it seems that we’re not the best therapeutic fit, I’ll talk with you openly and honestly. Drawing on my years of experience, I’ll make thoughtful recommendations for a different type of therapy or a clinician who may be a better match for your needs. Your well-being—not just staying in therapy—is always my priority.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I help women and men who are ready to take back control during life transitions, loss, or seasons of feeling stuck. If you’re seeking clarity, peace, and direction—not just coping—you’re in the right place. Together, we’ll quiet the overwhelm, make sense of what’s happened, and start creating real momentum toward the life you want. Healing is an active process, and you don’t have to do it alone. I’ll guide you step by step, helping you move forward with purpose, confidence, and renewed strength.

Cindy exhibits a wealth of knowledge pulling from various skills, strategies, and techniques, which allows for a holistic approach that can be adapted to the needs of each person. She has helped me immensely in the short time we have been working together and the skills she has taught me have been essential to my improved mood and energy. She is a solution-oriented therapist with the flexibility and empathy to meet you where you are while still managing to promote personal growth.
