Hi there, I'm Cynthia (Cindy). Do you feel yourself struggling to find meaning and purpose in life? Do you feel lackluster, unmotivated, spread thin, burnt out, and struggle to experience joy? Do you feel misunderstood by others, feel pressured by life's demands - whether they are from loved ones or society as a whole? Can your relationships and sense of self use some fine-tuning? I am passionate about helping you navigate your experiences with infertility. Infertility can be isolating and emotionally challenging. Many individuals find that a lack of understanding from others can exacerbate the emotional impact of infertility, and I am committed to helping you manage the grief, stress, and uncertainty of infertility. I am also dedicated to helping you navigate stressors related to parenting, step-parenting, relationships, career issues (career exploration/dissatisfaction/burnout), and adapt to life transitions and important milestones, such as starting/ending chapters.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Together we can help you tap into coping mechanisms, strengths, insight, and personal empowerment that allow you to adapt to the set of circumstances that you are experiencing. You will walk away from therapy with more "tools" in your toolbox, stronger communication skills, and a sense of resilience and resourcefulness. Additionally, you will be exposed to new perspectives that enhance your relationships with others and with yourself.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I am an empathic, relationship-driven therapist who uses warmth and empathy. It’s hard to open yourself up to someone, and I am here to help you in your journey toward self-discovery, growth, and healing.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am non-judgmental, curious, insightful, and open-minded. I approach people with patience and validation and am a creative and "outside of the box" thinker. I give space for growth and reflection and encourage conversations that are deep and meaningful. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed School Counselor, and tenured College Professor with over 25 years of professional experience in the field. "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." I look forward to embarking on this journey together.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
Infertility, parenthood and step-parenthood, career counseling, relationship issues, adjusting to milestones and life transitions, increasing self-esteem.
