It is tough navigating our thoughts by ourselves or loved ones/friends all of the time. I find discussing my wants, problems and needs to a therapist is extremely helpful as you will get quality feedback that you can use to grow and better understand yourself and set goals.

- Psychologist
Hello, I’m a licensed psychologist with over a decade of experience helping individuals and families navigate emotional, behavioral, and life challenges.
My approach is warm, supportive, and practical. I work with adults experiencing stress, anxiety, and life transitions, as well as parents who want support understanding and managing their child’s behavior, including attention and emotional regulation challenges. Therapy with me focuses on helping you gain insight, develop effective coping strategies, and feel more confident in handling difficult situations.
For parents, I provide guidance on strengthening relationships with your child, managing challenging behaviors, and creating a more positive family dynamic. For individuals, I offer a supportive space to process stress, anxiety, and everyday pressures.
My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and equipped with tools to move forward in a healthier and more balanced way.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

She has already improved my perception of myself and my struggles and look forward to continue working with such a diligent therapist.
Cindy is a great therapist. It’s challenging enough to admit that one needs help and needs therapy. Cindy has made seeking therapy more relatable, humanizing, supportive and encouraging. I feel that she is invested in helping me get better as much as I am invested in my self and well being. Her approach is honest and refreshingly direct with the advice she gives me. I would definitely recommend her. She is a gem.
