Hi!  I’m Cynthia

 

I love to play and create and am an adventurer of all realms. My greatest joy is when I can experience these with another. Collaboration and co-creation are two of my favorite words.  I have a BS in chemistry from Wheaton College, and a MA in mental health counseling from Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology, Yeshiva University. I am a partner, a parent, a citizen of Earth.

 

I have taught science, am involved in the arts, and study a breadth of psychological approaches, as well as a variety of world religions/mysticism. I am informed with studies or trainings in Jungian psychology, yoga philosophy, mindfulness, neuropsychology, LGBTQIA+ issues, EFT tapping, bereavement, trauma, relationship and sexual issues, and alternative lifestyles including consensual non-monogamy.  I also work with individuals navigating demanding and competitive high-profile careers in finance, law, healthcare, and the arts. As a lover of learning I continue to enrich my practice with continued education in these areas and more.

 

As your counselor I will be a fullhearted listener and together we will create a space to explore and nurture your strengths and skills to empower you to meet your goals for wellness and growth.

Things I Love
 

In my free time I enjoy trekking, cycling, word and number puzzles, board games, reading/learning, getting nerdy, attending visual art and musical events, knitting, lacemaking, cooking nourishing and beautiful food and sharing it with family and friends.  I have recently added discovering hearts in the world around me.  The fun has caught on and some of the photos on these pages are from friends who enjoy a similar search.
