I believe that you and I will work as a team to find the best solutions for you. I am so glad that you have made the hardest step in therapy- seeking help.

I like to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere from the start of our time together.

I have trained in the psychodynamic field but have since enlarged my area of practice into more interventional modalities

Hi, I’m Cindy and I want you to know this: you don’t have to go through it alone. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply tired of carrying it all, therapy can be a space to exhale, reflect, and gently begin again.

I come to this work not only as a clinician but as a human being shaped by my own lived experience. I’m a proud Trinidadian-American who migrated to the U.S. at a young age, and I know what it’s like to navigate different worlds, expectations, and identities. That background helps me show up with empathy, cultural sensitivity, and deep respect for the unique path each client walks.

I’m currently pursuing my Doctorate in Social Work at Simmons University, and my clinical experience has focused on supporting adults through anxiety, trauma, life transitions, burnout, and issues related to identity and belonging. I have a special heart for clients who are used to being the strong ones, the caregivers, the first-gen trailblazers, the ones who hold space for everyone else.

In our work together, you can expect warmth, honesty, and collaboration. I use a relational and strengths-based approach, integrating tools from CBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care, but more importantly, I meet you where you are, honoring your pace and your story.

This is your space to feel seen, to feel safe, and to explore what healing could look like for you. If you’re ready to begin, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

I believe that long-standing problems do not necessarily require long-term therapy. By utilizing evidence-based treatments and focusing on interventions that create lasting change, my goal is to help clients make meaningful progress as efficiently as possible. Clients often describe me as patient, empathic, and easy to talk to. I work hard to understand your experiences from your perspective so that we can create a treatment plan that is personalized and practical.

Therapy with me is collaborative and active. Rather than simply discussing problems, we focus on developing skills and strategies that you can continue to use long after therapy ends. My goal is not to create dependence on therapy, but to help you become your own therapist by teaching techniques that promote resilience, confidence, and long-term emotional well-being.
