Hello, I'm Cindy, and I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist with a passion for helping individuals and families navigate life's challenges. I graduated from Park University in 2012 with a Bachelor of Science in Social Psychology and went on to earn my Master of Science in Clinical Psychology from Vanguard University in 2016. My journey into therapy began at Hope University Counseling Center, where I worked with couples and individuals facing marital stress, identity and self-esteem issues, pornography addiction, and sexual trauma. This foundational experience shaped my understanding of the complexities of human relationships and personal struggles.
After graduation, I continued my training in a private practice and at a psychiatric hospital outpatient program, where I utilized Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support severely mentally ill patients. My work with individuals dealing with Schizophrenia, Major Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, and Borderline Personality Disorder has been both challenging and deeply rewarding. Additionally, I have experience in crisis stabilization and working with sexually traumatized children and adults.
I have a special place in my heart for military families, understanding the unique sacrifices and dedication required to make a military family work. My extensive life experience, including a previous career, allows me to bring warmth and wisdom to my practice. I understand the struggles you may be experiencing and am here to support you through them.
My therapeutic approach is both attachment-oriented and goal-oriented, focusing on developing strong therapeutic relationships where healing can occur. I believe in honesty, integrity, and dedication, and I challenge my clients to see beyond what they believe is possible. Together, we can work towards your goals and create positive change in your life.
If you're ready to take the next step towards healing and growth, I invite you to reach out. Let's work together to navigate your journey and achieve the well-being you deserve.
