Hi, there, I'm Lucinda! Are you struggling a bit in your day-to-day activities? Would you like to begin to have a feeling of peace again - more like yourself? I work with women and men ages 14 and over and specialize in anxiety, life transitions, emotional challenges, and trauma. I'm also happy to work with clients who desire to meet with someone from a faith-based, Christian perspective, as well. We'll work together to identify what's working and what's not working in your life and then find workarounds to improve how you feel. Seeking therapy can be scary, but I'm here to make your journey a safe place to grow and heal. In our time together, I'll meet you with compassion and unconditional regard, so you can overcome the thoughts and situations that hold you back. I can't wait to meet you!

My approach to goal setting with you rests in collaborative efforts, working together to identify what you want to accomplish and finding the best, most direct ways to get there.

First session

My style and approach fit well with clients struggling with anxiety, life transitions, and emotional challenges. These challenges often include anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, and family disharmony. My approach also benefits those struggling with grief, unresolved trauma, and PTSD. I help my clients navigate these transition periods and build skills to allow them to feel better about themselves and develop a more positive outlook on life. My approach to goal setting with you rests in collaborative efforts, working together to identify what you want to accomplish and finding the best, most direct ways to get there. We begin by getting to know one another, and by building trust, we can navigate the therapy process in a safe and accepting environment.

Strengths

My communication style is warm, approachable, and comforting as we embrace challenges together. I want you to feel safe and comfortable talking with me about anything, and I pride myself on the ability to listen without judgment. I decided to become a therapist because people intrigue me, and I have always wanted to help nurture others to discover their best future, regardless of the past. I'm naturally drawn to helping people through difficult times and seeing beyond their current situations and circumstances. I enjoy seeing individuals become the best versions of themselves.

She's very concerned for my well being and my advocate.

She always makes me feel better after we've talked. She listens and shows empathy about things that I am going through. She always makes me feel like I can get through anything and that I am stronger than I think. She really seems to care and always remembers things I tell her like she is really listening. I appreciate her immensely.
