Relatable therapy, real growth, and a place to reconnect

—welcome to Positive Living.

Hi, I’m Cindy!

Founder and therapist at Positive Living. I created this practice as a supportive space where individuals and couples can feel understood, cared for, and guided through every stage of life.

I work with men, women, and couples navigating a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, conflict, relationship issues, life transitions, emotional dysregulation, and self-esteem struggles. I also specialize in helping clients recover from experiences of gaslighting, narcissistic abuse, and toxic relationship dynamics.

Therapy sessions available in English and Spanish.

As a therapist, and as a mom, I bring both professional expertise and real-life perspective to the therapy room. I understand the complexities of balancing your roles, managing emotional stress, and holding space for others while trying to care for yourself.

My approach is rooted in empathy, authenticity, and collaboration. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or simply ready to make meaningful change, therapy can be a powerful step forward.

At Positive Living, healing is a human experience, relatable, supportive, and deeply connected. And from the very first session, progress won’t just feel possible, it will feel personal and empowering.

Why We Struggle to Say No
Why We Struggle to Say No

Somewhere along the way, we learned that saying “no” comes with a cost. As children, “no” to parents meant punishment. “No” to friends meant exclusion. Slowly, we absorbed the lesson: it’s safer to be agreeable.

“I know this is a horrible thing to say, but sometimes I just don’t find the joy in parenting.”

This is one of the most common confessions I hear in therapy.

Sleep isn’t just rest, it’s healing. I’ve spent entire sessions with clients focusing only on sleep because it’s that important.

Is Your Therapist a Good Fit? They Need to Be.

You’ve probably thought about therapy for a while, convincing yourself you didn’t need it, hoping things would get better on their own, only to realize… they’re not. Finally, you decide to give therapy a try.

How Do I Know If Therapy Is Right for Me?
How Do I Know If Therapy Is Right for Me?

If you’ve ever asked yourself this question, you’re not alone. Many people wonder if therapy is “for them” or if things need to be really bad before they reach out. The truth? Therapy isn’t only for crises, it’s for growth, self-discovery, and building healthier connections, too.
