She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with her Private Independent Practice certification (LICSW, PIP). She earned her Bachelor of Social Work at The University of North Alabama, in Florence, Alabama. She earned a Master of Social Work at The University of Alabama, in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Cindy was intensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy by trainers of Marsha Linehan’s DBT team in Denver, Colorado.

There were two additional years of forensic work, as a mitigation investigator, in capital murder cases and as a mitigator in defense cases in Jefferson County. Cindy specializes in areas such as mood disorders, PTSD, childhood trauma, grief, adjustment disorders, relational and marital issues. Cindy is dedicated to assisting her patients in achieving their goals and helping them learn the necessary coping skills to live their best lives. Beyond professional life, Cindy spends time with her friends, family, traveling, cooking and trying new restaurants. She also has a special affinity for all fur babies and most everything outdoors. Rosie, the five-year-old Shih Tzu in the picture above has been her therapeutic sidekick for the last 4 and ½ years. Rosie loves her patients but knows instinctively when a patient is not a dog person or is not in the mood for pet therapy and remains in her bed away from the patient. Cindy resides in Cullman, Alabama with her husband of 10 years and their menagerie of rescue animals.
Cindy is accepting patients at this time. Please call our office at (256) 297-3215 to schedule your appointment today. Cullman please help us welcome Cindy and Rosie!
