Drawing from over a decade of clinical experience, Cynthia integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a personalized, relational style. She specializes in working with members of the LGBTQ+ community and individuals exploring gender identity, offering affirming care that honors each person’s unique experience. Cynthia also works with clients navigating the lasting effects of trauma and PTSD, guiding them through the healing process with empathy and skill. Her experience includes working with women managing anxiety, self-esteem concerns, and the demands of caregiving or life transitions, and she is deeply attuned to how intersecting identities shape mental health.

Whether helping someone process past pain or build resilience for the future, Cynthia provides tools that promote clarity, emotional regulation, and meaningful self-reflection.

Outside of her clinical work, Cynthia finds balance through creative expression and nature. She enjoys sewing, scrapbooking, and solving puzzles—activities that reflect her detail-oriented and intuitive nature. She also finds joy in catching sunsets, exploring national parks, and learning to cook traditional Mexican dishes, honoring her heritage and deepening her connection to family traditions.
