My STORY

Ms. Cyndi was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio.  She grew up in a two-parent household with 4 siblings until the age of 9. At the age of 10, her dad, a decorated police officer, was sentenced to 15 years in prison.  Needless to say, her life changed abruptly; she was coerced to deal with the hardships of being raised on welfare and in a single parent home throughout her adolescence.  She also  endured being teased, bullied, and taunted by her teachers who repeatedly told her she would not graduate from high school and would never amount to anything. 

Amid challenging circumstances, Ms. Cyndi managed to obtain a high school diploma, a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, a Master’s degree in Education and numerous other degrees and licensures.   

Ms. Cyndi has over 30 years of experience as a Certified Master Life Coach, Licensed Social Worker, Ordained Minister, Mental Health Therapist, Emotional Intelligence Specialist, Workshop Facilitator and Trainer for individuals, families, and couples.  In 2005 Ms. Cyndi became the founder of When In Need Coaching Solutions, Inc.
