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.

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.

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.
