“She is on time, caring and listens. She gives me practical advice.”

“Cynthia is amazing!! Thank you”

“My partner and I recently had our first session with Cynthia. While it's still early in the process, we both left feeling heard, understood, and encouraged. Cynthia was professional, objective, and created a comfortable space for open conversation. She helped us begin exploring some differences in our communication styles without taking sides or making either of us feel judged. We left the session feeling positive and motivated to continue the work together.”

“Very pleased with our progress. We think Cynthia is great!”
