About Cynthia
Cynthia believes that change is possible because she has changed her own life. She works with individuals and families on issues such as addiction, relationships, anger, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, career transitions, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and other life adjustments. She offers guidance for those who are loving someone who does not return their feelings, helping them stop that pattern and learn to cultivate self-respect and self-care. She also teaches assertive boundary skills, including how to say no in a kind and effective way.
In her clinical work she uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic therapy to support clients in identifying patterns and making the changes they want. Cynthia emphasizes client choice and collaboration - clients control the pace and focus of therapy while she serves as a steady, experienced companion on the journey toward healthier functioning. She would be honored to work with those ready to take the first step.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Cynthia uses cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT - which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and replacing them with more effective strategies. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges. She also draws on attachment-based therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns in intimacy and connection; this approach helps with relationship struggles, abandonment concerns, and patterns of dependency.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Cynthia works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts her approach over time as progress and insights emerge.
Online therapy with Cynthia is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varying schedules and life demands. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and fit sessions into busy routines while working with a licensed professional to address recovery, relationships, mood, and other concerns.
