Hello and welcome! I am a trauma therapist who works with individuals that feel stuck - adults who are holding it together on the outside, but feel overwhelmed or weighed down by the past on the inside. My specialties include adult survivors of childhood abuse, military and veteran populations. I also work with adults who have experienced traumatic life experiences that may have resulted in PTSD, or other symptoms of anxiety or depression that are causing emotional pain and negatively impacting their relationships and life. My goal is to help you find a way forward and experience freedom from the past.
Therapy begins with a trusting relationship. It is my goal to provide a safe place where you can begin talking about the concerns that brought you to treatment in an understanding, compassionate, and comfortable environment. We will review the intake paperwork you completed and discuss the challenges you are experiencing along with the goals you have for therapy. I will ensure there is time for you to ask any questions or express needs or concerns you may have as well. From there, we will mutually determine if we feel we are a good fit to work together.
One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is working with complex, long-standing emotional patterns and helping clients makes sense of experiences that may feel overwhelming, confusing, or difficult to shift on their own. Over the past 20+ years, I've also worked in a variety of settings, including medical, court, county, and community mental health programs, which gives me a broad perspective and the ability to work with a wide range of concerns and situations regarding the multifaceted effects of trauma.
-Individuals experiencing mild to moderate symptoms of anxiety and/or depression -Adults who are processing childhood trauma/PTSD -Military veterans or high-stress backgrounds -Adults who feel overwhelmed but still "function" on the outside -Individuals going through change or feeling out of alignment -Clients who want both support and forward movement -Clients committed to consistent treatment on at least a monthly or more frequent basis.

Cynthia is an amazing therapist who truly understands Trauma and knows how to help. She is very bright but also very empathetic and warm. I feel like I finally found someone who GETS it and isn't shaming me about my feelings or what's going on in my life. She is positive and gives me hope that I can get better. We need more therapists like Cynthia. She is exceptional.
