Hi, I’m Cindy. Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’re feeling anxious or unsure where to begin. I’m a trauma-informed therapist and EMDR specialist who works with adults experiencing anxiety, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I provide a warm, supportive space where you can talk openly, process difficult experiences, and learn ways to calm your nervous system and move forward with greater confidence. We’ll go at a pace that feels comfortable for you. If you’re navigating divorce, loss, or simply feeling overwhelmed, you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to help you feel more grounded and like yourself again.

Get to know me

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

Your first session is a relaxed conversation where we begin getting to know each other. There’s nothing you need to prepare. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, what you’ve been experiencing, and what you would like to see change. I may ask some background questions to better understand your story and how I can best support you. My goal is for you to leave the session feeling heard, supported, and hopeful about the path forward. It’s also important to know that not every therapist and client is the right fit, and that’s okay. If I believe you would benefit from a more specialized treatment approach or working with another provider, I will be open and honest about that and help guide you toward the support that best meets your needs.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I combine compassion with practical, grounded guidance to help clients move beyond simply talking about their struggles and begin creating real change. As a trauma-informed therapist and EMDR specialist, I offer a safe and supportive space where you can understand the patterns that keep you stuck, calm your nervous system, and move toward lasting healing. I’m also a straightforward therapist. I believe honesty, clarity, and compassionate feedback are important parts of the healing process. If you’re looking for someone who will listen deeply while also being direct and supportive in helping you move forward, we may work well together. Clients often tell me they feel comfortable with me quickly because I’m warm, genuine, and easy to talk to. My goal is to help you break old cycles, rebuild confidence, strengthen emotional resilience, and feel more steady, empowered, and in control of your life

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work with women and men who are navigating life transitions, loss, or times of feeling stuck and overwhelmed. If you’re looking for clarity, peace, and a way forward, therapy can be a helpful place to begin. Together, we’ll make sense of what you’ve been carrying, reduce the overwhelm, and create meaningful steps toward feeling more grounded and confident. Therapy is a process that naturally has a beginning, a middle where the deeper work happens, and an ending when you feel stronger and ready to move forward on your own. My role is to support you through each stage so you can experience real growth and lasting change.

My treatment methods

EMDR

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a proven therapy that helps your brain heal from distressing or overwhelming experiences. Instead of just talking about what happened, EMDR uses gentle bilateral stimulation (like eye movements or tapping) to help your nervous system reprocess memories that feel “stuck.” Many clients find EMDR helps reduce emotional intensity, anxiety, and negative beliefs — so past experiences no longer feel so present. It’s structured, collaborative, and focused on helping you feel calmer, more grounded, and empowered moving forward.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT helps you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. Together, we identify unhelpful thinking patterns and learn practical tools to challenge them, build healthier coping skills, and create positive change. CBT is goal-focused, structured, and designed to help you feel more in control of your emotions and daily life.

Interpersonal

Interpersonal Therapy focuses on how your relationships and life changes affect your mood and emotional well-being. Together, we look at patterns in communication, boundaries, grief, role transitions, and conflict. The goal is to strengthen healthy relationships, improve how you express your needs, and reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression by building stronger connection and support in your everyday life.

I’ve met with Cindy once but she was great just when meeting her. I did t feel any resistance to my needs even though she was direct and structured in her guidance. I feel safe and comfortable so far.
