About
Cindy
Hello,
My background is in trauma and healing. I believe in forming a partnership with those in need who want healthier relationships whether it be with people, food, alcohol, and/or careers as well as life's many transitions. I have much experience and am a part of the LGBTQIA+ community and provide gender affirming care. I've worked with diverse backgrounds for the last 20-plus years. Knowing what to expect can help to normalize your experience and reduce stress. I believe that understanding the nature and impact of events is a major part of coping and healing.
I make sure to take time to be in the outdoors hiking, cycling, or sailing, and hanging out with loved ones.
