Great to meet you!

My name is Cymone, a San Francisco Bay Area native living in Los Angeles. I love to understand why people do the things they do. I also enjoy assisting clients to create meaning, learn more about themselves, and have better transparency with them and the world around them.

My approach to therapy

I was trained in cognitive-behavior therapy, which focuses on understanding how our thoughts and feelings relate to our behaviors. However, I enjoy deep diving into family history and dynamics to uncover who one truly is and how they've grown. I also have a dash of a humanistic prospective as we make meaning of our experience.

What you can expect from me

Initially, the client and I will collaborate on what goals they have set for themselves. As we develop more of an understanding of one another, we aim to uncover your experiences, process them, and achieve your goals one step at a time.
