Founder & Therapist, Anchored Mental Health

Meet Your Provider

"Therapy should feel like a space where you can show up as you are, without pressure or judgment."

Hi, I'm Cyndi — the therapist behind Anchored Mental Health. My role is to walk alongside you as you make sense of your experiences, build insight, and move toward meaningful, lasting change.

My Approach

My work is rooted in connection, safety, and the understanding that healing happens not just through talking, but through deeper processing and awareness. I integrate relational therapy with brain-body approaches, including Brainspotting, to support individuals in working through trauma, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm.

Together, we focus on helping you feel more regulated, more grounded, and more in control of your experiences. You don't have to force progress here — we move at a pace that feels right for you.

Outside of the Therapy Space

At Anchored Mental Health, the focus is always on you. I value authenticity, connection, and creating a space where people feel safe enough to do meaningful work.
