HI, I’M CYNTHIA

Welcome. I became a licensed therapist in Oakland, CA with a clear purpose: to uplift women’s dreams of living a deeply worthwhile life. For over 16 years, I have provided therapy across Berkeley, Oakland, and San Francisco for women, couples, and families. I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. A cornerstone of my practice is supporting clients who navigate the rich, complex layers of BIPOC, QPOC, and first-generation identities.

Individual Therapy

Women often move through life following invisible family, social, cultural, and physical pressures. Over time, this builds into anxiety, depression, and trauma, especially during major life transitions. Being in therapy with Cynthia, women discover how to notice external pressure without automatically obeying it, shed guilt and shame, and make choices based on their own wisdom and desire.

RELATIONAL &
EVIDENCED BASED THERAPY

Couples Therapy

Many couples arrive at therapy after trying to fix things on their own.  They still love one another, but their dynamic has too much pain or distance. Cynthia helps couples move from needing a referee and defensiveness to genuine connection.  Whether you're navigating infidelity, communication breakdown, or major life transitions Cynthia supports couples in building a partnership where you can weather conflict together, with each other as your anchor.

Groups

Skills groups work whether you're in therapy or not, or if you want to supplement what you're already doing. In a small group of women, you'll build personalized toolkits and learn concrete skills for managing anxiety, emotional regulation, depression, and breaking old coping patterns. Women only, small group, judgment-free.
