About Therapy

You Carry Too Much On Your Shoulders

As a woman and busy professional, you are trying to navigate societal pressures and everyday challenges in life.

In relationships, you have been struggling with trust issues, communication breakdowns, or deep emotional wounds. Then, mix in some anxiety, depression, grief, family dynamics, and trauma.

Trying to balance all of these things feels impossible, and the constant expectations to keep it all together leave you exhausted.

It feels as if you’re trying to carry the world on your shoulders while walking through mud, yet you strive for peace in life.

I Understand What You’re Going Through

In a world that pressures you to hold it all together, it is a challenge to ask for help. But you are not alone; many people feel overwhelmed or stuck in a rut.

Whether you are facing professional struggles or toxic relationships, I will help you find clarity and strategies that align with your values and the life you want.

My gift is helping people reclaim their emotional and mental health. As someone who knows the weight of societal pressures, I’m committed to providing a therapeutic space where you can be your best self.

This Is A Safe Space

When you start therapy, you are stepping into a space built just for you based on your needs. A space that is calm and inviting, where you can relax, feel seen, heard, and understood.

My therapy practice is built on empathy, kindness, forming connections, and the belief that everyone deserves a safe space to grow and heal.

The process of working with me is about a therapeutic partnership. I’m here to listen, and guide you.

A Journey Toward Balance and Healing.

We will unravel layers of knots that affect your life, such as societal pressures, professional or personal expectations, trauma, and emotional pain. We will break patterns that leave you stuck.

It’s not just learning about coping strategies to navigate life; it is about creating a safe space to promote deeper healing.

As we navigate your concerns at your pace, you’ll notice a shift in how you think, feel, and engage with others.

We Will Navigate Challenges Together

In our sessions, we won’t just talk about what’s wrong; we’ll deeply explore why something is happening and how we can create healthier patterns.

While I offer understanding, kindness, and support, I will also challenge you because that is where the growth happens. I will ask the hard questions and push you to confront barriers with compassion.

Therapy is about giving you room to process what’s really going on and helping you find real, lasting solutions. You will be challenged but also feel rewarded by your accomplishments.

Therapy is not just about what happens in the room; it is also about what you take with you when you leave. My goal is to provide individualized insights and tools that resonate far beyond our sessions.

CindyMy Practice

I understand what it is like to juggle personal and professional obligations because I’m a veteran of the U.S. Army and hold three different Master’s degrees in social work/mental health, criminal justice, and public administration.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker in private practice in the states of Iowa, Texas, and South Dakota. With my background in social work, I bring a unique understanding of individual needs and the ability to find resources.

I have helped countless women and busy professionals break through barriers, find emotional healing, and develop resilience.

Outside of Therapy

I enjoy spending time with my family, outdoor activities, and hobbies that help me stay grounded and balanced.

I value quiet time and simple activities that help me recharge, like reading or meditation. I’m a huge believer in self-care and lifelong learning. Just like anyone else, I like growing and learning new things.
