CONTACT CYNTHIA

If you seem to be stuck in a pattern you do not like, or are experiencing traumatic or aggravating situations, Therapy and Relationship Coaching can be helpful.

To start, relax on my zen green sofa, and simply tell me what's going on. As you hear yourself talking about everything, clarifications and insights will begin to emerge. Symptoms and negative emotions start to ease, and you may dare to be hopeful again. 

If you sometimes feel like you're going crazy, and don't know what to do, I'll probably tell you, "You know what, you're not that crazy at all! So many people are going through the same situation. You are a work in progress."  

Sometimes clients need to understand that what they are experiencing is a normal process of life span development. You'll feel relieved knowing that your life is evolving, and often what's needed is working on practical skills with an experienced therapist to help you get more of what you want moving forward. I'm here to help you with that.
