Hello!
I have a gentle approach to counseling and encourage a collaborative relationship to make your experience as comfortable and beneficial as possible. I use a blend of humanistic, existential, mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral techniques. I have thirty years of experience working in all mental health environments, with all diagnoses and ages doing individual, marital, group and family counseling. In addition, to suggesting books to read and the use of paper and pencil exercises, I encourage my clients to draw on their creative abilities to pull them through tough times. My goal is to help you improve your self-talk, self-esteem, reduce anxiety and learn how to self-soothe with or without medication. My mottoes are "stay in the present it's the safest and most manageable place to be", "work your problems instead of letting them work you" and "focus on what you have control over to empower yourself".
Namaste.

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.

I’m extremely pleased with the gift of Cynthia!
I don’t know how I got so lucky! I have the best therapist! Someone was really looking over me.
She is an absolute legend. We can talk about serious topics, or just fill an hour with chit chat. From divorce and co parenting problems, to new wave music, she is by far the best. Very helpful, and knowledgeable. Genuine and compassionate.
Cynthia is an incredible therapist. It's only been two weeks, and she has already done so much to further me on my journey to wellness. She's attentive, down to earth, and shows so much empathy and compassion. Her experience is extraordinary, and she's able to help me understand and reframe my emotions in ways that are clear and easy to implement. I feel like I've struck gold in being matched with her. What a healing force, what a big heart.
She allows me to feel what I’m feeling in the moment. Very patient and understanding.
So far my experiences with Cynthia have been great. She is a great listener, validates my concerns, and gives advice on how to deal with the issue at hand when it’s warranted. I never feel judged by her. Very respectful and professional, but still personable.
I felt encouraged and seen by Cynthia. I’m very grateful for her support.
10/10! She’s a very nice and thoughtful person that really does take the time to listen to you and try to understand what you’re going through/feeling. I highly recommend.
Cynthia helped me through an incredibly tough time and i cannot thank her enough. She is so thoughtful and always willing to give advice when prompted. She does not judge and has always been so open to hearing what i have to say. I would recommend her to anyone

Cynthia is such a warm presence! I always look forward to our sessions
Cynthia is warm, compassionate and very supportive. I highly recommend her!
With Cynthia's help I was able to work through one of the most mentally difficult and confusing times in my life. She was tremendous and I cannot thank her enough. I didn't really know what to expect when trying therapy for the first time, but she was insightful, focused, empathetic and a joy to talk to. She really has made a difference in my life and I am forever grateful. I want someone else who is in a bad place to have the availability to find Cynthia so she can help them the way she helped me, and I know she will.
Shes a very understanding, kind, easy to talk too, genuinely cares about your well being.
Cynthia has been wonderful to work with so far. She has helped me brainstorm and find insight into life/relationship situations, making changes, and offering career advice that has been extremely useful. I feel like it is helping me hone in on the direction I need to go and find the inspiration and courage to continue to explore where life is headed. She is a great listener and is very empathetic and thoughtful. I would highly recommend her as a counselor!
Cynthia is thoughtful and generous. She listens to what you have to say and gives helpful advice.
In a short time, Cynthia has helped me in soo many areas of my life. She helps me see things from a different perspective. She is very caring, insightful, and knowledgeable. She is very easy to talk to and has been instrumental in treating my anxiety.
She is good at both pulling you out of your head and out of the dumps, also patient.
Cynthia is extremely easy to talk to and has a very empathetic outlook and a lot of useful wisdom to offer. Her emphasis on the present moment really shed some light on maladaptive thought and behavioral patterns that can take us outside of the here and now. She also had a ton of great career life advice that makes any stuck feelings dissipate. Overall, I am thrilled with the service that Cynthia provided.
Cynthia is very gentle and has thoughtful responses. She remembers the ongoing issues in my life and knows to check in on them. She reminds me that I'm doing my best but also gives me pointers and resources on what I can improve.
I feel comfortable talking to Cynthia which is crazy cause I was never good at this type of stuff and she suggests things like movies or reading material that I can relate to and grabs my interest.
I love working with Cynthia! She listens to my concerns and helps me. I've also messaged her having huge panic attacks and she replies quickly even sometimes doing a session with me if she's available. I am so glad to have her as my counselor
Cynthia has been very supportive and wonderful to talk to! She’s a great listener and provides helpful insight and worksheets. I would highly recommend her or better help to others looking for therapy.
Cynthia has been a great counselor for me. She has helped me understand my emotions and guided me towards being able to talk about my emotions, issues, or just being open in general. She is easy to talk to and is a great listener! She even recommended a few books to help me further improve myself while not in a session.
Cynthia is very empathetic and understands the struggle of her clients, highly recommend!
Cynthia has been my best counselor. Even before our first appointment, she recognized how I express my emotions and she made me feel valued. She is empathetic, intelligent, and a masterclass therapist. I highly recommend her & I look forward to our appointments
Cynthia is a great listener, she’s supportive and attentive. I’ve only had a few sessions, but I’m grateful for her unbiased opinions and the empathy she has shown me.
Cynthia is fantastic! She listens to me and helps me to see my problems in a new light. She’s very responsive and has been really helpful through some dark times for me.
Cynthia is a very kind and caring person and she is easy to talk to. I can tell she supports my well-being and is invested in helping me.
Cynthia has been very thoughtful and welcoming during our sessions! :)
Cynthia helped me in a time when I really needed to talk to someone outside of the people I knew, and helped me through a lot. I was grateful every time we spoke
