Hi there, I'm Cynthia!

I specialize in complex trauma and mood disorders, often related to growing up in abusive, neglectful family systems or experiencing unhealthy relationships where needs were not met. I explore old survival patterns that are no longer serving you, to integrate new skills that align with your authentic core values.

My focus

I work with adults and couples. I treat Complex PTSD, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, addiction, and relationship issues.

My approach

I enjoy the process of collaborating with each client to find what's best for them to heal and thrive. I have experience in several treatment modalities, including EMDR, DBT/CBT, Inner Child Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Self-Compassion Therapy.

My communication style

I provide an environment based on compassion and creativity, where clients can feel respected and validated, and can discuss issues in a safe and non-judgmental space.

My journey to mental healthcare

I am so grateful to be a part of a profession that helps to heal inner wounds, decrease suffering, and improve relationships with ourselves and others. I hope to contribute something that can make our world (both internal and external) a better place!

My goals for you

I enjoy collaborating with clients to identify what goals they want to achieve, then helping them find tools and skills that work best for them to meet these goals. I approach therapy as a mutually respectful relationship where we explore the healing journey together.

Our first session

Our first session will be a time to start getting to know one another. Along with completing an initial assessment, you will have an opportunity to talk about what led you to take this important step of self-care, where you are now, and what you would like to gain in our time together.
