Light & Hope-Cindy
LET ME GUESS...
You’ve spent years holding it all together — for everyone else.
From the outside, life looks fine, but inside you’re running on fumes.
You’ve always been the one who gets things done, but lately, even the smallest decisions feel heavy.
Some nights, you catch yourself wondering:
-
Why do I care so much what others think?
-
Why can’t I say no without feeling guilty?
-
Why do I feel responsible for everyone’s happiness?
-
Why can’t I relax until everyone’s okay?
You’ve tried to push through, but your exhaustion is louder than your willpower.
When you’re ready, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Healing Begins When You Give Yourself Permission to Pause
At Seeds of Hope Counseling in Hickory, NC, I walk beside you as you begin to lay down what you’ve carried for too long — helping you align with what truly matters, so you can live, love, and lead without abandoning yourself.
My Philosophy
I will not rescue you, for you are not powerless. I will not fix you, for you are not broken. I will not heal you, for I see you in your wholeness. I will walk with you through your darkness as you remember your light.
I don’t see you as powerless, broken, or in need of saving. Every part of you — even the ones you’ve hidden away — carries wisdom, protection, and light. My role isn’t to fix, but to walk beside you as you remember your wholeness. I hold space where your truth feels safe enough to rise, your heart feels seen enough to be fully seen, and your higher self feels trusted enough to lead.
Inspired by “A Medicine Woman’s Prayer” — this is the heart of my work.

ADHD Diagnosis & Therapy for Women Hickory NC
Living with ADHD isn’t just about distraction — it’s about exhaustion. Together, we’ll quiet the mental noise, find your rhythm, and rebuild systems that work with your brain, not against it.
Many women come to therapy for anxiety, only to discover there’s a missing piece. ADHD often hides beneath years of masking and over-functioning. Being evaluated for adult ADHD can bring clarity — helping you understand patterns that were never laziness or failure, just survival.
I specialize in ADHD diagnosis and therapy for women in Hickory, NC. Having a provider who understands the nuanced presentation of ADHD in women can make all the difference in your healing.
Burnout & Anxiety Therapy for Women Hickory NC
When the world sees “capable,” but your body feels spent — that’s burnout. Here, you don’t have to push through it. You’ll learn how to rest without guilt and begin again from steadiness, not survival.
As a former Type-A personality in recovery, I understand how hard it is to slow down. My work combines evidence-based therapy with practical, compassionate tools to help you reconnect with your values and your body’s wisdom.
When the strategies that once worked start to fail, therapy offers a space to listen instead of force. Together, we’ll move from short-lived relief toward sustainable healing.
Perfectionism & People-Pleasing Therapy for Women Hickory NC
If “good enough” never feels like enough, it might be time to rewrite the story. We’ll explore what drives the over-doing and help you set boundaries that feel kind, not cold.
Through a gentle, thorough assessment, we’ll uncover the patterns, triggers, and emotional costs of constantly performing. If you’re tired of carrying everyone else’s needs while quietly sidelining your own, know that there’s hope.
I’ve spent decades helping women release the need to be “perfect” and rediscover who they are beneath the roles they’ve played.
Midlife Transitions Therapy for Women Hickory NC
Empty nest. Hormone shifts. Changing identity. Midlife can stir deep questions about who you are and what’s next. Therapy offers space to rediscover your voice — and create a life that feels like yours again.
As a therapist who works extensively with midlife women, I understand the physical and emotional shifts happening in this season. Together, we’ll explore the “why” behind what you’re feeling — and find new ways to move through change with steadiness and self-trust.
