Developmentally in the US, we begin to truly form our identity as teenagers, but sometimes that gets stunted for one reason or another. I want to be able to walk by your side while you discover and choose who you want to be at whatever age that may happen. Anxiety, depression, and OCD are other issues I focus on.

Having the opportunity to help people grow and heal is why I became a counselor. Sometimes we need help and that can be hard to ask for. I am a Christian counselor and have been ordained for 14 years. If a person is in a marriage crisis I want to be there to see if we can get thru to the other side. My experience in my own personal life has lead me to this place of helping couples, pre marital counseling, or any other individual who feels lost. Most people need good advice. They need someone who is a third objective party. That's what I am. That's what I enjoy. Helping people see things from a different perspective.

Are you running your life, or is life running you? Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected? Now more than ever, many feel pressured to normalize anxiety, depression, and hopelessness as just a part of life as they struggle to heal from painful wounds of past trauma and abuse or navigate life transitions, grief and loss, or self-image issues. But stuffing emotions and pushing your needs away can lead to long-term problems for your mind and body. Specializing in the invisible wounds and unspoken struggles that can steal our joy, I’m passionate about helping others experience the freedom and healing I know firsthand is possible.

Throughout our lives we are confronted with disappointments, challenges, and obstacles that may derail us. Unexpected life events are common and although people have an amazing capacity to resolve problems, sometimes we get stuck. When we get stuck we need collaboration or assistance to find solutions, gain control, and develop coping skills in order to return to a place where we can flourish. With this in mind, I use the vehicles of ministry, coaching, and counseling to assist individuals in reaching the abundant life that is available through Christ.

My work as a therapist is guided by the humanist theory that people can heal and grow if they have assistance that is genuine, empathetic, and accepting. I believe that when we accept ourselves exactly as we are, then we can find the strength to change behaviors that are not serving us. The approaches I use include EMDR, dialectic behavioral therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), neurobiology, motivational interviewing, positive psychology, attachment theory, and family systems theory.

Hi! I’m Cindy, a therapist in Murfreesboro, TN. I love working with kids and adults when life gets messy. As humans we are created to have a wide range of emotions but sometimes we get stuck in a way of thinking, feeling & behaving that’s unhealthy or downright destructive. Add stress & trauma to the mix and life gets overwhelming pretty quickly. I am fascinated with the power of human connection and how adaptable the brain is. If you are just curious about therapy, feel free to reach out!

Female Therapists

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
