Great to meet you!

Hello, my name is Cynthia and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 7 years of experience in a variety of mental health settings. As a first gen Latina daughter of immigrants, I am inspired to offer treatment to others who navigate the journey breaking generational curses such as machismo, marianismo, "de eso no se habla", and healthy boundary setting. Treatment areas in my experience include: depression, anxiety, grief and loss, women's issues, life transitions, cultural identity, self-esteem, self-compassion, and inner child healing.

My approach to therapy

I offer a unique style of work with my clients, implementing holistic/natural elements into more traditional modalities such as CBT, DBT, Somatic Healing, and Art Therapy, with a sprinkling of culturally competent ideals.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, clients can expect a warm and welcoming space where it is safe to be vulnerable. My goal with my clients is to guide them towards self-discovery, healing, and healthier lifestyles and thinking patterns for improved qualities of life.
