She uses straightforward, people-first methods to help clients build coping skills and move toward clearer goals. Cynthia's approach is calm and encouraging and centers on the person's strengths.

Background and approach
Cynthia also supports people dealing with relationship and family problems, parenting strain, and issues connected to adoption and foster care. Her work draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. In practical sessions she helps people name problems, test small changes, and learn new ways to manage strong emotions and impulsivity.
She explains skills plainly and practices them together with the person in session. Sessions can address attention and focus struggles including ADHD-related concerns alongside mood and behavioral issues. Cynthia also addresses complicated family of origin patterns, commitment and communication problems, guilt and shame, and fatherhood issues when those come up in a person's life.
People meet her through online formats that fit their schedules. She works in English and practices in California as a CA LCSW. The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time.
