I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have provided crisis intervention and brief therapy services to children, youth and adults for over 30 years. Some of the areas that I have experience in are working with depression, self harm, trauma and substance abuse.
I work in a partnership with you as my approach to therapy. You let me know what you want to accomplish and it is my job to stay on track with that goal. I need you to teach me about your unique strengths that we will utilize to accomplish what you want to achieve in a counseling situation. Together, utilizing your strengths and my skills we will create new avenues to solve life problems and strengthen relationships in a sustainable way.
I look forward to working with you.

Cynthia is a wonderful, considerate, and helpful counselor. She listens to all of my concerns - big or small - and always encourages me to ask questions, send messages, and keep in contact.
