Master’s Level Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor
After 12 years of serving as both a teacher and a school counselor in K-8 education, Cyndi opened her counseling services to a broader population in the agency setting. She earned her Masters of Arts in Counseling through Spring Arbor University in 2013 and is licensed as a professional counselor. While working in schools, she gained insight into the support process for students and can guide parents through the obstacles they may face while seeking the best educational experiences for their children. She has offered personal/social counseling, academic support and future career guidance to adolescents at both school and agency settings. Cyndi uses age-appropriate activities in her office to build trust with young clients as they learn to express themselves more fully.
Along with children and adolescents, Cyndi has worked with adults who struggle with adjusting to life stressors. She has helped those who are suffering through divorce, loss of employment, loss of loved ones, dealing with chronic illness, and other grief-producing events. Utilizing Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, Reality Therapy and other techniques, she helps those with anxiety to discover coping skills.
