Cindy has helped me tremendously realize that I am a strong person. I went through a breakup and felt confused and lost and she has really helped me through it. She understands and listens to me without judgement and I feel very comfortable talking to her.

As a licensed therapist in California, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life transitions and personal challenges. My approach is deeply compassionate and tailored to each client's unique journey. I focus on helping people address stress, relationship dynamics, self-esteem concerns, and career difficulties with empathy and practical strategies.
My therapeutic work centers on creating meaningful connections and supporting clients through diverse experiences, including social anxiety, life purpose exploration, communication challenges, and personal growth. I have extensive experience working with individuals facing midlife transitions, workplace stress, relationship complexities, and personal identity development.
I am committed to providing a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their emotions, develop resilience, and cultivate self-understanding.

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.
