Re-entering the dating world and improving my relationships with my daughters were the primary reasons I sought Cynthia's services. I read her Google reviews and liked the comments. Her calm manner and broad perspective on ways to address conflict really helped me clarify my thinking and identify where I could improve my interactions with others. With a combination of Eastern philosophy, mindfulness practices, patience, and empathy, Cynthia has helped guide me toward greater happiness and confidence in my ability to make good decisions. She's a gem who really cares about my well-being.

I chose Cynthia because she had so many good reviews but now I am shocked that she has so many. My husband and I saw her for couples counseling and our experience was horrible. Maybe it’s because it was remote and our sessions were online? Maybe because the only time that worked for us was late at night? The cadence of her voice and speech pattern were almost painful to listen to and on several occasions, wondered if she was under the influence of something. We told her multiple times from the beginning that we wanted to try to work out our marriage (even if that was a difficult task!) and after approximately six weekly sessions, we got a “sounds like you’re done and this isn’t worth fighting for” sort of send off and made it clear that SHE was done. It was so abrupt and nonchalant. Thankfully we sought out a different therapist and are doing so much better, but no thanks to her. I gave her two stars because she did recommend a great personal therapist for me to see separately. ***wanted to note that we saw her in the beginning of 2024 and I am just now posting this review because I am STILL thinking about what a bad experience we had nearly one year later.

I needed support at a very difficult end-point in my marriage and was fortunate to have found Cynthia. Her calm, supportive and insightful demeanor was a God-send for the emotional chaos I was going through. The revelations that sprang from our sessions were eye-opening and life-changing, and she helped me find the power, strength and ability within myself to determine a future I deserve. Thank you so much Cynthia!

Cynthia is highly recommended! She draws on a wealth of industry and practice experience to help individuals and couples reflect on the difficult aspects of relationships and have constructive conversations about them. We benefited greatly from having her as a sort of a coach to deconstruct personality differences, establish common goals, and practice areas for improvement. While we were waitlisted initially, the short wait was worth it - she worked to squeeze us in, understood when conflicts arose and we needed to move things around, etc. She is busy and I can see the reason is she is good at what she does!

Cynthia helped my husband and me navigate through a difficult time in our relationship, and we feel extremely fortunate and blessed to have found her. She is professional and knowledgeable with a warm, calming and empathetic style.

Cynthia's counseling and gentle guidance, along with her ability to provide relatable examples and effective techniques, created a safe environment which enabled us to understand ourselves better and break down barriers between us that we did not know existed. Through this process, we learned why we came to the decisions we made in the past and how our inability to effectively communicate our feelings and motivations led to so many misunderstandings and defensive behaviors that continually undermined our true love and connection.

We strongly recommend Cynthia, and we would not hesitate to work with her again in the future.

Cynthia helped my husband and I during a very difficult time in our life. I was scared to start therapy and felt very vulnerable but knew we had to go. Once we got into therapy and became familiar with Cynthia it became obvious she was the right person to help us and I looked forward to our sessions. Cynthia was able to see clearly where we needed help and it was a tremendous help to have Cynthia provide guidance with very difficult emotions and conversations. I found Cynthia to be smart, knowledgeable, kind and explained things that you need to hear in a safe manner. I would recommend her to anyone that is struggling with emotions and difficult conversations.

Cynthia is an incredible marriage counselor, and we would highly recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat. She helped my husband and I work through a rough patch in our marriage, and helped equip us with communication tools and frameworks for navigating our issues together.

Throughout our sessions she was always patient, listening and non-judgmental, and was able to see things from both sides. She never picked sides and would let us know what we did right and where we can both improve. We worked with her for a number of months, and since then our relationship has flourished and our day-to-day communication as a couple has greatly improved thanks to what Cynthia taught us.

We are so grateful to have found her and had the chance to work with her. She really helped strengthen the foundation of our relationship, leaving us stronger and wiser through her guidance.

We found Cynthia to also be very organized and professional, which made scheduling time with her a breeze. She uses a sliding scale for her pricing, which we appreciated.

If you’re looking for a marriage counselor to help your relationship, we can’t recommend her enough. She truly helped us turn a challenging period in our relationship into an opportunity of growth and renewed strength. Thank you Cynthia - you are the best!!

Cynthia is an excellent therapist. She has helped me navigate some big life events. She listened, is objective, shared many helpful resources and perspectives and taught me techniques that helped me understand my self better and the people around me to be able to navigate challenging life events.
I highly recommend Cynthia to anyone that suffers from anxiety/ depression, relationship struggles and big life events. I wish I had found Cynthia a long time ago. She was fast to respond when I initially contacted her and is very flexible with scheduling appointments.
