Cindy is the most warm hearted, caring and genuinely wonderful therapist I've ever met. She's helped me through so much and u always feel like I can speak her about anything without judgment. Most importantly, she's always honest with me and checks up on me whenever I'm down and I appreciate her so much. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone. She's such an amazing person and I love her!

The face of someone who looks for support-looks like mine. Sometimes it's struggling with anxiety or depression. Maybe diabetes and the toll the healthy management takes on your life. It could also look like a young adult feeling stuck with so many opportunities in the world. It could look like someone who has lost their job or home and turned to Alcohol or Gambling to ease the pain. Or someone who just can't shake things they may or may not label as TRAUMA in their lives. More important than any of these situations, is the question: How do we regain CONTROL over Happiness and OUR own lives?
I believe in taking a holistic and collaborative approach. This means we work together, as a team to improve your whole life-not just your mental or emotional health. There are multiple ways we can go about finding this answer, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EFT, EMDR, Addiction models, Mindfulness-based modalities, Motivational Interviewing and, more.
I have been supporting individuals just like you for over 14 years. I am committed to helping people learn how to live their BEST lives! My practice focuses on targeting Anything that stands in your way of functioning as your Best self!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She is professional and direct but easy to talk to
Cindy is a wonderful person. She is very supportive of your mental health growth and what you want to achieve personally. She is a very good listener and asks you thoughtful questions. Without a listening ear like hers I don't think I would have felt the personal growth I have made.
Cindy helps me boil down a lot of very complex circumstances very quickly. I don’t know how she does that with such ease, but it is helping me understand what I’ve been dealing with and also face life with less fear.
She is excellent. She doesn't beat around the bush. Asks excellent questions that actually have something to do with my problem or management thereof. My time is definitely not wasted nor is it unproductive.
Cindy has been the best counselor I've met! She is warm, kind and understanding. I feel so comfortable talking to her about everything and she never judges me for any of it! She really listens and provides me with helpful and meaningful insight, as well as practical tools I can apply which I think makes all the difference. I always feel amazing after our sessions and I'm so grateful that she's in my life!
