About Me

I have been working as a Marriage and Family therapist since 2010. I was licensed in New Mexico for most of my career, but transferred to Washington state in 2016. I have worked with individuals and families from a variety of backgrounds and income levels and even served as a crisis counselor for a detention center for several years. Depression, anxiety, family/relationship problems, parenting issues, substance abuse, and Bipolar Disorder are part of my regular case load. I also enjoy working with clients who just feel "stuck" and need some support to find their way forward in life.

I try to keep my sessions friendly and welcoming. I enjoy humor and feel that it is a healthy coping skill to be utilized. Every problem has a solution waiting to be found and my goal is to help clients find their own unique solutions to life's most complicated issues. My practice includes cognitive behavioral approaches as well as mindfulness and solution focused therapy. I treat individuals as unique cases and avoid lumping people into categories. You are the expert in your life. My job is to help you see options that may have been missed and help you move forward.

Therapy can be an intimidating process. My goal is to make it comfortable, helpful, and maybe even a little fun.

Written by Q.U. on Sep 19, 2019 after counseling with Cindy for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, intimacy-related issues, parenting issues, and coping with life changes

Cindy has been a wonderful guide through my trials. She is thoughtful in her approach, and honest in her feedback. I couldn't have asked for a better counselor and therapist during this extremely challenging time in my life. I was very skeptical of this method of therapy when I started, but Cindy has exceeded my expectations and made me feel extremely comfortable with the legitimacy of BetterHelp. I would recommend her to anyone.

I find Cindy to be knowledgeable, professional and kind. she listens and asks great questions to elicit information and help me as a client change my thought pattern positively. She always offers a tool or a solution to my situation, additionally, she follows up quickly and checks on me if I haven’t reached out. I value her ideas and feel very at ease talking to her. I was unsure about this coucleong model but find it working well.
