VERIFIED PATIENT TESTIMONIAL

Hi there, I'm Cynthia!

These are tough times in many ways, and many people are struggling. If you’re anxious, down, or navigating life transitions, aging, or relationship issues, I’ll help you process it all, strengthen your coping strategies, and begin making meaningful changes toward the life you want.

My focus

I work with adults of any gender, with a focus on women navigating transitions, identity shifts, and relationships. As a first-gen Latinx therapist, I understand cultural identity, bias, and assimilation stress. I don’t specialize in eating disorders, autism, complex trauma, or substance use.

My approach

I blend therapy styles to help provide immediate relief and foster lasting change. We’ll explore how your past affects you (psychodynamic), your thoughts and habits (CBT), coping skills and relationships (DBT), mindfulness and meaning (existential), all within the context of our social and political environment (systems approach).
