hey, i’m cindy!

a licensed, bilingual mental health therapist here to guide your path to mental wellness & growth

I believe in your ability to change, grow, and heal—at a pace that feels right for you.

something feels off… you’re ready for a change.

Maybe you’re going through a big transition, dealing with loss, or feeling overwhelmed by stress, self-doubt, or disconnection. Maybe you’ve been carrying it alone or pretending everything’s fine when it’s not.

I see you. you’re exactly where you need to be.

My work goes beyond just talking—I give the skills, strategies, and resources to help you move forward. Together, we can focus on:

  • clarity & confidence – understanding what’s holding you back and build self-trust

  • stress & emotions – coping strategies to feel more in control, rather than overwhelmed

  • relationships – set boundaries, improve communication, and build deeper connections

  • life experiences – whether it’s career shifts, family challenges, or personal growth, we can get through it

mental health is often misunderstood & I’m here to change how we talk about it

I know what it’s like to push through, carry the weight of expectations, & question if you’re really doing enough.

As a first-generation college student from a Dominican background, I faced cultural identity struggles, academic pressures, and self-doubt—all while managing unrecognized ADHD symptoms that made everything feel twice as hard.

For a long time, I thought I had to do it all alone. Everything changed when I gave myself the space to heal.

I learned that my experiences were valid, I wasn’t broken, and healing wasn’t about fixing myself—it was about understanding myself.

that’s what led me here.

by the age of 23, I earned not just one but two degrees in social work—driven by resilience, determination, & a passion for making a difference

what sets me apart —

what sets me apart —

I combine clinical expertise with a relatable, down-to-earth approach. As a young adult, I understand the unique pressures of this stage—academic & career stress, life transitions, relationships, family expectations, and everything in between. I’ve been in your shoes, and I know how overwhelming it can feel.

Being bilingual (English + Spanish) allows me to connect with a diverse range of clients, ensuring culture, language, and identity are not only respected but celebrated in our work together.

The "why" behind my work is simple: to provide the guidance and support I once needed, helping you thrive despite life’s challenges.

If my journey resonates with you, I’m here to be part of yours.

your needs, my support

  • Anxiety Management

    you don’t have to live in a constant state of overthinking and worry. with the right tools, you can quiet your mind, trust yourself, feel more in control of your day, and feel more at ease—even when life feels uncertain.

  • Attention-Deficit Challenges

    if focusing, staying organized, or finishing tasks feels tough, it’s because your brain works differently—and that’s okay. with the right strategies, you can boost productivity & feel like you’re making progress without burning out.

  • Depression

    you’re not stuck, even if it feels that way. you don’t have to stay in this place forever. healing is possible—one small step at a time. there is hope, joy, and purpose waiting for you, even if you can’t see it yet.

  • Career & Educational Guidance

    feeling lost or uncertain about your next step in your career or academic journey is normal, and you don’t have to have it all figured out. with clarity and confidence, you can find a path that truly aligns with you and your goals.

  • Life Transitions

    life changes can feel overwhelming, but they don’t have to. no matter your new chapter or journey, you can feel confident and at ease, knowing you have the support and clarity to make the best choices for yourself.

  • Relationship & Social Skills

    healthy relationships start with understanding and communication. you’ll find that setting boundaries, being open, and fostering deeper connections bring more joy, authenticity, and fulfillment in your life.

  • Self-Esteem

    you deserve to feel confident and proud of who you are, without the need for constant validation. when you truly embrace your worth, it shifts everything—from how you show up for yourself to how you interact with the world.

  • Stress Management

    stress doesn’t have to drain you anymore. with a few simple shifts in how you manage your time and energy, you can start feeling more balanced, present, and energized—no matter what life throws your way.

  • Trauma

    your experiences don’t have to define your future. through healing and self-compassion, you can move forward with strength, creating a life where you feel safe, empowered, and in control of your own story.

ready to invest in yourself?

I can help you become more confident, peaceful, and at ease.

  • by shifting the way you speak to yourself, replacing self-criticism with kindness, and empowering you to build confidence in who you are so you can see your amazing qualities like others do.

  • by helping you recognize your negative thought patterns that keep you feeling stuck and learn to replace them with healthier, more empowering beliefs. this is great for anxiety, self-doubt, and breaking cycles of stress.

  • by teaching you how to slow down, manage stress, and become more present in your life. this can be especially helpful if you feel constantly overwhelmed or disconnected.

  • whether you’ve been through a big loss, a toxic relationship, or something that still affects you, we work at your pace to help you process and heal without rushing you or making things feel too overwhelming.

  • it’s all about finding practical steps to move forward. we'll focus on what you can control and work together to create a plan that feels doable and helps you make progress.
