Sometimes we feel ready to "do the work," but might feel uncertain about where to start. I work in this field because I believe we are capable of making tremendous changes when we understand ourselves better. I believe in empowering you to recognize the ways you can be in control of yourself and your situation. I am interested in who you are and like to meet you where you're at. My style is to support you in connecting your head and your heart to help you gain clarity on your current concerns. With this clarity, you can begin to take intentional steps toward the life you want. I am grateful for the experience and skills I have learned over the years that have allowed me to treat a variety of concerns that have led to depression, anxiety, or trauma. My profile lists issues that I am able to support you through. Additionally, one of my clinical niches is working with survivors of narcissistic abuse, a form of trauma that often leaves individuals feeling confused, unheard, and disconnected from their sense of self. I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Schema Therapy to gently guide you through the process of healing. I believe that survivors deserve to feel safe, understood, and whole again. Recovery from narcissistic abuse isn't just possible—it’s your right. You deserve to reclaim your voice and rebuild a life grounded in authenticity and self-respect. Beginning therapy takes courage, and choosing the right therapist is an important step. I offer a collaborative space where you can feel heard, supported, and challenged in meaningful ways. I’m licensed in California with 7 years of clinical experience. I received my Master’s in Counseling from Palo Alto University and am currently completing my Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology at California Southern University. My multicultural background and immigrant experience help me understand the complex roles identity and culture play in our mental health.

About Dr Cynthia Before I went to school to become a psychotherapist, I was a teacher of Inner Guidance. I also taught the curriculum to become a teacher of Inner Guidance. We all have powerful internal senses that we tend to neglect: intuition, insight, instinct, imagination and deeper intelligence that grows sharper the more we use it. Too often, our personal growth becomes confined at the surface of ourselves by the effects of childhood trauma and how we’re raised. Sometimes we don’t know there is so much more to us. Once we develop accurate self-knowledge and learn what part of us is doing our thinking and making our decisions, then self mastery is within reach. I help people unravel their personal predicaments and develop self mastery. Once we become more greatly empowered - we are equipped to know what we want in life and how to manifest it. I received my CA license (lmft2980) in 1992, received my PhD in psychology in 1996. I wrote/published a book, “The Care and Feeding of Perfectionists “, 1998. Often we spot perfectionism in others but cannot recognize it ourselves. Many of us believe the Perfectionist is the best part of us, when really, it prevents us from liking ourselves. Each of us have at least 2 types of perfectionism (9 types in my book). If not neutralized, it blocks our growth by convincing us that we are not good enough. I help people replace perfectionism with a free internal Gift. The inner drive toward Excellence- which springs from the Self - is a beautiful world away from the pain of perfectionism- which is a push from a wounded ego. Once we connect to our Inner Self, we see ourselves and our world as it really is. Then life, healing and accomplishments can become wondrous easy. Methods I use besides talk therapy: Identifying and healing trauma Conscious breathing Dream analysis Focused meditation Inner Guidance Inner Child work The necessity for humor. EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprogramming.) FLASH (offshoot of EMDR) Interactive hypnotherapy Developing self knowledge Dismantling perfectionism Becoming present and living in the moment Accepting personal power Goal setting Couples Counseling
