About me

Hello, I am Dr. Cirilo. I offer a compassion‑focused, person‑centered approach designed to help you reconnect with the strongest and most authentic parts of yourself. With more than a decade of experience in the counseling field, I bring both clinical expertise and genuine human warmth to the work we do together. My goal is to offer a fresh, grounded, and empowering perspective on what counseling can be. I believe therapy should feel like a safe space to explore, grow, and rediscover balance—not a place of judgment or pressure. I am passionate about witnessing people evolve, meet their goals, and step into healthier, more aligned versions of themselves. At the heart of my work is a simple intention: to help people become happier, healthier, and more connected to who they truly are.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am best positioned to serve clients who want a collaborative, conversational, and human-centered therapeutic relationship—people who appreciate warmth, directness, and a space where they can explore their internal world without judgment. My ideal client is willing to practice skills between sessions, reflect on patterns, and experiment with new ways of relating to themselves and others. They don’t need to have everything figured out; they just need to be open to the process of becoming more aligned with who they truly are.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive behavioral Therapy aids in understanding specific issues and goals. This method has assisted me to aid people in how to Identify unproductive thought patterns and how it impacts their life. CBT promotes Change in thinking by recognizing distortions and reevaluating them based on reality. When a person can understand their behaviors and gain motivation, the can then improve their mood.

EMDR

My approach to EMDR is both structured and deeply relational. I don’t rush clients into reprocessing; instead, I take time to build safety, trust, and emotional stability. Before we ever begin bilateral stimulation, clients learn grounding skills, containment strategies, and ways to regulate their nervous system so they feel prepared and empowered throughout the process.

Couples Counseling

I have extensive experience working with couples who are navigating communication breakdowns, shifting relationship dynamics, emotional disconnection, and the impact of individual trauma on the partnership. Many of the couples I work with come in feeling stuck in repetitive patterns—misunderstandings, resentment, avoidance, or feeling unheard—and are looking for a space where both partners can feel safe, validated, and genuinely understood. My approach to couples counseling is grounded in emotional attunement, clear communication, and helping partners understand the deeper needs and fears driving their interactions. I draw from evidence‑based models such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman‑informed strategies, and attachment‑based work to help couples identify patterns, repair ruptures, and build healthier ways of relating. I create a space where both partners can slow down, express themselves without defensiveness, and learn to listen with curiosity rather than reactivity. I help couples move away from blame and toward understanding the underlying emotions—hurt, fear, longing, overwhelm—that often sit beneath conflict. Together, we explore how each partner’s history, values, and communication style shape the relationship dynamic.

Existential

My approach to existential therapy is rooted in the belief that people heal when they feel safe enough to explore who they are, what they value, and how they want to live. I help clients examine the deeper questions that often sit beneath symptoms—questions about identity, purpose, freedom, responsibility, connection, and the meaning they make from their experiences.

Strength-Based

I believe that every client comes into the room with resilience, insight, and lived wisdom—even if they can’t see it yet. I don’t view clients through a lens of deficits or pathology; instead, I help them identify the internal resources, values, and abilities that have carried them through difficult experiences. These strengths become the foundation for healing, growth, and meaningful change.

Dr. Cirilo is by far the best therapist I’ve ever had. She’s professional, yet incredibly personable. She takes the time to listen, but also makes everything feel so comfortable; like you’re having a conversation with your best friend. Amazing therapist, overall amazing woman. I can’t recommend her enough.

Dr. Nyree is an amazing listener, who makes you feel like you are being heard with your concerns or worries. She helps work through your emotions and concerns gives amazing insight and helpful ways to process them, taking into account that everyone is different and their own individual. When speaking to her I feel like I found someone who genuinely cares about her clients and their wellbeing.
