Recently I had experienced the loss of my Mother and some time after, the break up of my girlfriend of four years. Although I have always thought of myself as a pretty though guy able to withstand tough times, this combination in the middle of trying to start a business was by breaking point. In utter desperation I did something I thought I'd never do, call a psychologists. After reviewing several websites, I called Cindy. During that first phone call during which I was not only depressed and desperate but also a little embarrassed, but the level of compassion and understanding in her voice convinced me that I had made the right decision to seek her help.

The combination of her skill as a psychologists, and her compassionate nature, allowed me to take a really close look at my beliefs, my thoughts and the reasons for them. After several sessions with Cindy not only did I come out of the depression but I understood why I became depressed. If you are considering using Cindy, I would recommend her for two reasons, her deep understanding and ability to apply the skills of her profession, and her exceptional interpersonal skills.

Cindy is a great counselor with the wonderful gift of inviting clients to explore deeper aspects of themselves where true transformation takes place. I loved being a part of her Women's Group as I learned the importance of self-care, trusting my intuition and learning to stand up for myself! She is a wonderful and compassionate counselor.
