Cindy is here to support you with utilizing your strengths, developing coping strategies, and making changes to enhance your quality of life and relationships.
Cindy's style is warm, compassionate, and engaging. When clients first start therapy, she will work on understanding your stories and the connection to your presenting issues. Cindy prioritizes establishing a safe, respectful, and genuine connection with you, so you feel heard and seen.
