You’re not alone
Tired all the time, but nothing feels restful?
Depression rarely looks like sadness. More often it looks like numbness, irritability, and going through the motions. Those are the things we work on together.
How it feels right now
- Dragging yourself out of bed — everything takes twice the effort
- Numb or flat, even around people and things you used to love
- Harsh inner critic telling you you're failing at everything
- Withdrawing from friends and family because it's easier
How it can feel
- Energy and motivation that return in real, noticeable steps
- Tools to interrupt the spiral before it takes the whole day
- A kinder inner voice — and relief from the constant guilt
- Reconnecting with people, work, and things that feel like you
Meet your therapist
Hi, I’m Cindi.
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience helping people navigate depression, low mood, burnout, grief, and the exhaustion that comes with them. I believe therapy should feel like a calm, judgment-free conversation — not a clinical interrogation.
Together we’ll build a personalized road map for your goals. I’ll be right beside you every step of the way, with practical strategies to break through what feels stuck.
How it works
A gentle, simple path forward.
1. Free 15-min call
We talk by phone so you can ask anything — no pressure, no fees, no commitment.
2. Your first session
We meet in person or online and build a plan that fits your life and goals.
3. Real momentum
We track what's actually shifting — sleep, energy, mood, motivation — so you can see progress instead of guessing at it.
What clients say
Real change. Real relief.
I'd been low for years and told myself it was just my personality. Cindi helped me see it wasn't. I feel like a person again.
She never made me feel broken. Small steps, every week, until one day I noticed I was looking forward to things.
The free phone call took the scary out of starting. Best decision I made all year.

Still wondering? The free 15-minute call is the easiest way to find out if we’re a good fit.
Book My Free CallHow do I know if it's depression or just a rough patch?+
That's exactly what the free consultation is for. If low mood, low energy, or loss of interest has lasted more than a couple of weeks and is affecting your daily life, it's worth talking through.
How does the free consultation work?+
Fill out the short form (or call) and Cindi will reach out within one business day for a private 15-minute phone call. Ask anything — there's no pressure to book a session.
Do I have to be on medication?+
No. Many clients do well with therapy alone. If medication might help, Cindi will talk it through with you and can coordinate with a prescriber — the decision is always yours.
Do you offer telehealth?+
Yes. Meet in person in New Jersey or through secure HIPAA-compliant video — on the hard days, showing up from your couch counts.
How long until I feel better?+
Many people notice small shifts within a handful of sessions. Deeper work takes longer, and we'll talk openly about what makes sense for you.
How much does it cost?+
Cindi will walk you through fees and insurance options on your free consultation call — no surprises.
You don't have to feel like this forever.
Take 30 seconds to request your free consultation. On the days it feels impossible, one small step is enough.
