I am currently working in the Juvenile Justice System with youth who have been adjudicated. I provide individual and group counseling focusing on goals that will help the youth meet the goals of probation and/or parole within the community. I have vast experience with depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, Post Traumatic disorder, chronic homelessness and substance abuse issues. I also have experience with more severe mental health issues and personality disorders. My experiences also include assisting clients with adjustment from homelessness and resulting mental health issues, family and chronic medical issues. I have extensive experience working with elementary, middle and high school students to support academic, emotional, behavioral and social success when lesser interventions have not eliminated concerns.

Ms. Cynthia is amazing! She listens and answers all my questions. She explains things elaborately and makes sure I understand. Ms. Cynthia has boosted my confidence and has been my biggest cheerleader every step of the way. I have made huge progress with my Severe Anxiety, Agoraphobia & PTSD.
