Cindy has called the Valley of the Sun home since 1975. She earned her BA in Education in 1999 and served students with special needs and their families in the Deer Valley School District for many years. Her passion has always been in helping people to realize their strengths, to overcome challenges and prosper in life. Cindy has faced her own challenges in life, and knows first-hand the sense of isolation and the unique struggles faced by those afflicted by substance abuse (and co-occurring conditions)and their loved ones. Addiction tells us to suffer in silence and isolation and recovery begins when we reach for and find help and community. Cindy earned her Master of Science in Addiction Counseling from Grand Canyon University in 2019 and is a Licensed Associate Substance Abuse Counselor in good standing with the AZ Board of Behavioral Health Examiners. Her approach is based in Solution-Focused and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapies that promote optimism, cognitive restructuring, and positive motivation for change. “The world changed when I changed my perspective and I know that recovery from any challenge is possible. I am honored to share my experience, insight, and compassion with others on their journey to mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness.”
