Hi, I’m Cindy!

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New Mexico. My Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, combined with my own life experiences, has prepared me to support women who are navigating the complicated, sometimes messy realities of relationships, boundaries, caretaking, and life’s unexpected plot twists. I believe therapy should be a place where you can show up as your whole, imperfect, wonderfully human self. No gold stars for having it all together required.

 My work is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and the belief that your experiences matter. Together, we can make sense of the patterns that have helped you survive, figure out which ones are no longer serving you, and create space for a life that feels more like yours.

 If you’ve found your way here, there’s a good chance you’re someone who cares deeply. Maybe really deeply. You notice things. You anticipate needs. You show up. You help. You remember. You worry. You give people second chances. And occasionally, you realize you’ve spent so much time taking care of everyone else that you have absolutely no idea what you need.

 That’s where therapy can begin.

 I believe therapy should feel like a place where you can finally exhale. Not another place where you have to perform, impress, explain yourself perfectly, or prove that your problems are bad enough. You get to bring the messy overthinking version. The, “I know I should set a boundary, but then I feel like a terrible person” version. The version that loves someone and is also completely exhausted by them. The version that says, “I don’t even know what I want anymore.”

We can start there.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that your patterns make sense when we understand where they came from. That doesn’t mean those patterns have to stay forever. Together, we can explore what you’ve learned about relationships, responsibility, worth, conflict, and taking care of yourself and decide what still belongs in your life.

 I especially enjoy working with women who are exhausted from:

• Being the “strong one.”

• Feel responsible for everyone’s happiness, difficulty setting or maintaining boundaries, and automatically put other people’s needs before their own·     

• Feel guilty when they say no

• Are navigating codependency or people-pleasing

• Love someone struggling with addiction

• Have spent years adapting themselves to someone else’s chaos

• Want healthier relationships but aren’t sure where to start

• Are ready to stop abandoning themselves to keep the peace

 You don't have to earn your place in the room or need a perfectly organized explanation of what’s wrong. You don’t need to know whether what you’re experiencing counts. And you definitely don’t need to arrive with a five-year treatment plan and color-coded feelings.

We’ll figure it out together.

 My goal is to offer a space where you can be honest, curious, occasionally laugh at the absurdity of being human, and gradually develop a stronger relationship with the person who has been with you through all of it: YOU

 Outside the therapy room

• You can be professional without sounding like you were assembled by a committee.

• You can be compassionate without being endlessly self-sacrificing.

• And you can care about other people without disappearing from your own life.

I’d love to help you find that balance

I offer in-person therapy in El Paso, Texas, as well as telehealth throughout the state of Texas.

Whether you're exhausted from taking care of everyone else, struggling to set boundaries, navigating a relationship affected by addiction, or simply wondering, “Okay...what happened to me in all of this?” You don't have to figure it out alone.

Therapy can be the place where we figure out what happens next.
