Hi there, I'm Cindy!

A disconnection from the self can leave you feeling empty, angry, sad, or confused. You might feel unsure of what to do or how to begin feeling like yourself again. No matter what you are going through, therapy can be a safe place to feel understood and begin reconnecting with yourself in a more honest, compassionate way.

My focus

I work with clients across many ages and stages of life. You do not have to have it all figured out. We begin exactly where you are. In our time together, we may focus on managing emotions, challenging unhelpful thoughts or behaviors, strengthening skills, understanding attachment patterns, and examining ways to improve your relationships.

My approach

My approach is warm, collaborative, and evidence-based. I draw from CBT, DBT, EFT, attachment-focused therapy, IFS/parts work, and strengths-based interventions, and tailor care to your needs, goals, and pace. I help you make sense of what you’re feeling, build practical coping tools, and strengthen your emotional resilience.
