  • Are you plagued by chronic feelings of self-doubt, anxiety, and indecision?

  • Do you feel easily overwhelmed or irritated and wish you could let things go like everyone else?

  • Are you constantly seeking reassurance from others or wishing someone would “just tell me what to do!”

  • Do you spend hours trying to do your best and still feel like it somehow is not good enough?

  • Do you obsess and ruminate about things and situations much more than you would care to admit?

  • Do you have it so together on the outside that nobody would guess you actually struggle with anxiety and even depression?

  • Do you often become overwhelmed by feelings, but don’t even know what you are feeling let alone why you are feeling this way?

  • Do you want people to see the real you, but you aren’t always sure who that is?

Maybe you can relate…

…I’m here to help.

Hi.

I’m Dr. Cindy T. Denkhaus, a licensed clinical psychologist, writer and mother with a background in media, entertainment and the arts.

Whether you struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, imposter syndrome, self-doubt, indecision, overwhelm, self-criticism, or all of the above, you’re in the right place.

I help thoughtful, sensitive, and creative people who struggle with anxiety to find their clarity, confidence and courage, so they can live more fulfilling lives.

I also work with couples navigating the complexities of modern day partnership.
