I love doing this work! I consider it a great privilege to walk alongside my clients, to partner with them, support them in their journey, and witness their growth.
I provide psychotherapy to a diverse adult population experiencing generalized anxiety, panic symptoms, depression, stress, life transitions and adjustment difficulties, relationship concerns, and family challenges. I also have experience treating clients with perinatal mental health concerns, including postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, and birth trauma.
As a bilingual therapist fluent in English and Japanese, I provide psychotherapy in both languages, offering culturally responsive care to individuals from diverse backgrounds.
Greetings! I am a licensed psychotherapist (LMFT and LPCC) with a background in community mental health. I engage my clients in a warm, compassionate, philosophical, and non-judgmental way. Using a collaborative approach and evidence-based modalities to address a range of mental health issues, I help clients reach their therapeutic goals and achieve a greater sense of wholeness, personal agency, and lasting positive change.
My clients describe me as relatable, supportive, and easy to open up to. As a first-generation Latina and part of the same generation as many of my clients, I understand the unique pressures young adults face—from family expectations to finding your own path—and I’m here to help you navigate it all with empathy and real-world perspective.
Life is full of ups and downs, and I have learned from both personal and professional experience that 'suffering in silence' is not really sustainable or healthy for anyone. You deserve to feel heard and to function at your best level. I have 6 years' experience post-graduation from the University of Texas with helping folks do just that. From nonprofits, to medical clinics, to correctional facilities, to teletherapy, I have connected deeply and partnered with many clients and families to trudge through some of their darkest hours and find more validation, calmness, and acceptance. My fluency in Spanish has given me opportunities to break down walls and connect with hundreds of clients whose cultural background is different than mine. I would be honored to have the chance to see if working together is a good fit for your healing journey.
Hello and welcome! Taking the first step toward therapy can feel difficult, and I want to acknowledge the courage it can take to reach out. My name is Cynthia, though I go by Cyndra, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who primarily works with individuals.
My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by my own unexpected life transition. In 2010, I experienced a traumatic brain injury (TBI) that dramatically changed the course of my life. During my recovery, I gained a deeper understanding of how challenging major life transitions can be and how important it is to have support while navigating uncertainty, loss, and change. I also became fascinated by how the brain works, how our experiences shape us, and our capacity to heal and adapt. That journey ultimately led me into the mental health field in 2012.
Since then, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals as they navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and other challenges that can leave us feeling overwhelmed or disconnected from ourselves.
I am a compassionate therapist who specializes in working with couples and adult individuals, providing support to clients with a range of life challenges and concerns. I am trained in EFT, to help couples of all ages and stages of life - or even one person in the relationship struggling with challenges or major decisions. Additionally, I am a trauma informed therapist trained in EMDR to assist with healing. Research shows EMDR allows the brain to process events that happened to us instead of storing trigger responses in the body. EMDR can also be helpful with anxiety, depression and more.
I enjoy helping clients find their innate wisdom and to grow in positive ways through therapy. My background is in traditional and integrative psychology, energy healing and spiritual development. I am committed to helping clients find tools to address issues of chronic inner and outer pain, to find balance and meaning, and to improve their quality of life and relationships. I feel grateful and humbled to be part of my clients' process of discovery and change.
I was always drawn to people who went unseen or unheard. Others told me I had a calm voice and that they could tell me anything. That led to a lifelong study of how people free themselves from their own patterns, later deepened by psychoanalysis and professional work in eating disorders, addiction treatment, and managed care settings like Kaiser.
I consider all aspects of a person’s whole being and life to incorporate somatic-based therapies and interventions. In the therapeutic process, I aim to help clients deepen their understanding of themselves through an inner journey that we take together. I love supporting individuals and groups through change, loss, transition, and transformation. Bringing consciousness to the unconscious for ones healing journey.
