My name is Cindy and I
am a social worker, grief counselor and
certified child life specialist with almost
fifteen years of experience supporting children
and families facing challenging events.
Over the years I have utilized my skills
in art and play therapy, child development
and social work to customize interventions
for individuals and groups that strengthen
coping skills and encourage self-expression.
I feel privileged
to have had experiences working in hospice,
hospitals, schools and funeral homes, as
well as with other various organizations
to provide support, guidance and workshops
dealing with illness, injury and grief.
