About me

I am board-certified PMHNP dedicated to helping individuals find hope, healing, and balance in their lives. I provide comprehensive mental health care, including evaluations, diagnosis, medication management and therapy, with a compassionate and personalized approach. Prior to being a PMHNP, I gained valuable experience working as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner in the U.S. Navy with over 20 years of experience in both the inpatient and outpatient settings. It was during this time that I realized the gap in care and needs for mental health care in both the pediatric and adult populations and obtained my certification as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. My goal is to provide evidence-based care grounded in empathy, clinical expertise, and a commitment to my client's overall well-being.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I am able to create a warm, nonjudgemental space where clients can feel truly seen, heard, and supported. I am able to combine clinical expertise with genuine compassion, allowing you to build strong therapeutic relationships and provide care that is both evidence-based and deeply personal.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I enjoy working with individuals who may appear high-functioning on the outside but are silently struggling on the inside-managing daily responsibilities, caring for others, and feeling the weight of anxiety, stress, or emotional exhaustion. Whether you're a student, professional, parent, or retiree, you deserve support that honors your whole self--mind, body and spirit. If you're ready for a safe, compassionate, and faith affirming space to process your emotions, gain clarity, and find renewed strength, you're in the right place.

My treatment methods

Faith based therapy

I offer faith based therapy as part of a holistic approach to mental health. As a PMHNP, I am able to integrate Christian principles with evidenced-based practices to support healing of the mind, body and spirit. I invite clients to explore how their faith can be a source of strength, peace, and restoration throughout their mental health journey. While I support faith based therapy, I always respect each client's individual beliefs and tailor care to their comfort and needs.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use CBT to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that may be contributing to their emotional distress. Through CBT, clients learn practical skills to manage symptoms, build resilience, and develop healthier ways of thinking.

Compassion Focused

I provide compassion-focused care to help clients overcome shame and self-criticism by building a sense of safety, acceptance and emotional resilience.

Cylyne has truly changed my life for the better, and I’m incredibly grateful for both her and Grow Therapy. I’ve worked with many therapists over the years, but no one has made the positive impact that Cylyne has. She is compassionate, professional, insightful, and genuinely understanding. Every session leaves me feeling supported, heard, and empowered rather than vulnerable. I always walk away with valuable tools and a renewed sense of clarity. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Cylyne has a way of making you feel seen and heard. She really genuinely wants you to be healthy physically, mentally, and spiritually. For people who struggle with feeling like they matter that means the world.
