Hi! My name is Cynthia. If you are seeking help, that’s a great first step! There may be life experiences that leaves us feeling overwhelmed and alone. I believe that, with support, individuals have within them the ability to self-actualize and grow to one’s full potential. I provide a safe and nonjudgmental environment where we work together to improve self-awareness and change old patterns to take charge of one’s life. I am a LPC with extensive experience providing clinical services for children, adolescents, adults, and families in a variety of settings including private practice, residential treatment, and in-home/community.

We’re all just walking each other home - Ram Dass. You find yourself standing at a crossroads, the weight of past traumas, daily stresses, and unspoken fears heavy on your shoulders. The voices of doubt and confusion echo in your mind, turning what was once a clear path into a tangled maze of uncertainty. Each decision feels monumental, each step forward feels shaky, contributing to a profound sense of overwhelm. It’s dark here, and the face in the mirror feels like a stranger, each day a battle with fear. Maybe you wake up each morning dreading the day ahead, gripped by a fear that’s both familiar and indescribable.

My passion lies in serving children, teens, and young adults. For the past three years, I have worked as a school counselor where my primary focus has been serving students experiencing anxiety, depression, struggles with low self-esteem, and life transitions such as divorce or the deployment of a loved one. I also enjoy partnering with parents of children who are experiencing emotional and behavioral difficulties. Because of my experience in the school system, I value the ability to collaborate with the various systems of a client's life (school, home, therapy, etc.) to best serve them.

"The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct" (Carl Jung). I find great joy in working with children of all ages in a therapy setting. It's an honor to me when a child chooses to trust me with their wishes, their fears, and their wonders about life. I have experience working with children individually, in hospitals, and through non-profit work in the community. Through the use of play and arts based therapies, I help to facilitate an environment where children are able to truly be themselves, express their emotions, and have the ability to create the answers they need for themselves.
