I only have good things to say about Cindy! She listens and helps guide conversations. Cindy asks follow up questions and digs deeper. As a young adult, I feel like she offers great advice/new perspectives. I learn so much in every session. She is very professional and keeps tabs on the updates in my life. I highly recommend Cindy, she has been amazing this last year.

With mindfulness- and compassion-based therapy, I support clients through grief & loss, relationship issues, healing from trauma, and searching for meaning & purpose. So many of the issues that bring people to therapy are natural responses to the challenges we face as human beings. Through the process of therapy, we bring curiosity and compassion to our inner experience; and in the safety of a non-judgmental space, we explore options for understanding and growth.
I'm a holistic psychotherapist, so I invite examination of mind, body, spirit, and culture into our work together. I believe that inherent in every person is the drive toward wellness; my job is to provide the environment where that process can unfold. In my practice I draw from mindfulness-based, transpersonal, existential, and family systems therapies.
I hold a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology (Holistic) from John F. Kennedy University – a program with a long tradition of recognizing the integration of mind, body, spirit, and culture as essential to mental health and wellbeing. Part of my studies at JFKU included a specialization in Buddhist Psychology, as well as extensive training and experience in grief counseling. For over a year, I worked as a grief counselor at a hospice in Silicon Valley, where I provided support to clients who had recently lost a loved one. Following that, I worked at the YWCA for two years, supporting clients who had experienced domestic violence and/or sexual assault. Before this career transition, I worked in corporate finance for over 15 years.
I am also a Registered Yoga Teacher with over 200 hours of training (RYT-200). I hold certifications to teach Kundalini Yoga, Prenatal Yoga, and Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY), as well as a certification in Trauma Informed Sex Positive Therapy.
Greater peace is possible. I can help you tap into your inner strength and wisdom, and move forward through life's difficulties with grace and authenticity. The process of therapy can be challenging in itself - and it is worth the work. I look forward to connecting with you soon.

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.
