About me

Hello, first let me say how proud of your self you should be to start your healing journey it takes strength and bravery . I'm a Licensed mental health counselor (LMH) based in MA . I received my Masters from the Cambridge University in MA and have been practicing for 9 years. I work to support clients in their healing journey with such areas and struggles as depression, anxiety , PTSD, addiction, mood disorders, domestic violence and family conflicts (individual work) I feel some of my greatest strengths are being able to meet clients where they are at and providing them with the tools and support they need to work towards their goals and healing, using modalities that fit the client needs I use a Holisitc approach, strength based meeting client where they are at and respecting each client as a unique person

Get to know me

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

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. This plan will be client-centered, uniquely created together. we will create intake paperwork and gather some background information

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I feel some of my greatest strengths are being able to meet clients where they are at and providing them with the tools and support, they need to work towards their goals and healing listening and supporting a client on their healing journey with respect, dignity, and understanding

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with clients who are open to working on their own journey of healing and self-advocacy. My clients are eager to improve but don't yet have the tools to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed, and anxious about the direction to take or how to start working on themselves in a nonjudgmental, supportive, and safe space it takes bravery to seek support

Cindy has a real talent for balancing much needed direct communication in a warm, calm way which allows me to be open with her and get the advice I need in return. She has a perfect therapist personality and I am very fortunate to have found her.
