I am A Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years’ experience. I utilize a variety of treatment models to assist people with meeting there therapeutic goals.
My expertise is in Cognitive Behavior Theory for Depression, Anxiety and Sleep disruptions. I am also a trauma focused therapist that specializes in Cognitive Processing Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help you recover from traumatic events in adulthood and/or adverse childhood events.
I utilize a Wholistic Approach which is focused on the BIOPYSCHOSOCIAL MODEL, i.e. bio/genetic- psycho/cognitive and emotions- social/cultural, religion, socioeconomic status, as this approach helps me to understand factors that may create barriers or challenges for you. Lastly, I work with couples to improve relationship satisfaction by reducing relationship distress utilizing the DEEP Approach; looking At Differences, Emotional Sensitivities, External Stressors, Patterns of interaction/communication.
I believe that therapy is YOUR TIME, I strive to quickly build a strong rapport, and a feeling of trust and mutual respect. As your therapist my goal in therapy sessions is to allow you to find time for yourself , to utilize a variety of acceptance and changed based strategies, and to reduce negative impacts in your life so you can find meaning, value and wellness.
I am excited to meet you and work together to identify your goals !

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Cynthia is very caring and understanding. She asks the hard questions that I don’t want to hear, but need to hear.
I like her!
I have been seeing mental health therapist for many years and Cynthia is the first one that calls me on my stuff. When I am sharing with Cynthia she brings up I said several weeks ago to me that is impressive it tells me she is listening to me. Cynthia challenges me with my daily schedule for inside and out. I am so paying out of pocket and for me that ought to tell you something.
Incredible, understanding, patient, and logical. I loved working with them.
She is kind and attentive and offers lots of solutions and insight
Cynthia truly listens and gets to the heart of the matter. Literally nothing surprises her, and she's extraordinary at giving me tools to help me get through whatever it is that's a problem.
I appreciate her so much.
While I have only had 2 sessions with Cynthia, I feel we're off to a great start. While I need to work with her more before knowing how effective her approach will be for me, I am very optimistic.
She is great and listening while not trying to interject in my trauma too much that I get overwhelmed. She understands my desire to gain better coping mechanisms for difficult situations and her suggestions have helped me greatly
Very friendly and supportive.
I never found anybody like Cynthia who remembers what I shared with passed sessions. She is punctual, friendly, and challenges me.
Cynthia has helped me with getting through my relationship, my decision making, and focusing on my decisions. She listened a ton, have excellent advise and I have never felt more confident about myself.
Cynthia is absolutely amazing. I started off this year feeling isolated, anxious and depressed. Having Cynthia in my life has helped out tremendously. I admire her empathy, and her outlook on my issues. She provides the best care I’ve ever received in therapy. So thankful to have her.
I’ve really enjoyed the peace of mind and the confidence I feel in talking to my therapist. She knows exactly what my concerns are, and how to help where she’s not telling me what to do but helping me de-stress and give me tools to help.
Cynthia has been a great help to me. She is a great listener who is consistently patient. She is also very compassionate.
Cynthia has been nothing sort of amazing
Cynthia listen and understand my situation and always giving me her honest input and correction that i needed. She gave me the clarity that i need and i feel supported. Thanks Cynthia!
I usually don’t write reviews about therapist I see, but Cynthia is truly special. In the short few weeks that I have had the opportunity to talk with her, I have felt so incredibly heard and understood. She doesn’t make me feel like I have a million things to fix, but rather she allows me to feel heard and seen and most importantly, validated. Therapist like Cynthia are the reason I rave and recommend therapy to any and everyone. I can feel joy throughout life again.
She has been great.
Cynthia has an ease and calmness about the way she speaks to me during our sessions. After every phone call I feel more and more at rest and accomplished.
She was very kind, understanding and empathetic. She listened to me and gave me some good suggestions and recommendations. I look forward to talking with her again. She has been very helpful and responsive so far. :-)
