Cindy

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 25 years of clinical experience. I began my career with the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services and also served as the Director of Clinical Services at Child Guidance Center — giving me a depth of institutional knowledge and hands-on clinical leadership that I bring to every client I work with.

My extensive background gives me a uniquely grounded perspective on the complexities of mental health, allowing me to meet clients — whether young children or adults — exactly where they are with patience, skill, and genuine compassion.

My primary specialty is working with young children under the age of 10, utilizing play therapy as a developmentally appropriate way to engage and understand each child. Play therapy allows children to communicate in their natural language — through play — making it one of the most effective therapeutic approaches for young clients who may not yet have the words to express what they're experiencing.

I also provide compassionate, trauma-informed counseling for both adults and children who are survivors of physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, creating a safe and supportive space for healing at every stage of recovery.
