Hi, I'm Cynthia. I'm a licensed therapist with 13 years of experience offering in-person and online therapy throughout California and Washington State. I earned my MSW from UC Berkeley and completed my clinical training at community mental health agencies and private practices across the Bay Area. I specialize in supporting women navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and ADHD, and I bring both professional expertise and genuine personal understanding to the work we do together.

My approach to therapy

I work with women from all identities, backgrounds, and experiences. I take care to create a space for you to share the pressures you face — whether at work, in relationships, as a caregiver, or simply within yourself — are real and deserve real attention. My approach draws on evidence-based methods for anxiety, depression, trauma, and ADHD, woven together with warmth, curiosity, and deep respect for your lived experience. There's no judgment here, only a collaborative and honest space where we work together toward what actually matters to you.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is about you feeling comfortable and understood. We'll talk about what brought you in, and what you're hoping life could look like on the other side of this. I'll share how I think I can help, and we'll start building a roadmap together. Many of my clients tell me they leave that first session feeling a sense of relief — like they finally have a space that's just theirs. Reach out for a phone consultation to see if I'm a good fit for your therapy process.
