Cynthia earned her BA in Psychology at Miami University in Oxford, and her MA degree in Counseling from the University of Cincinnati.  She is credentialed as a Supervising Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC-S), and has worked in mental health for over 25 years.

Her work has taken her into some of Cincinnati’s most troubled neighborhoods like 8th and State, schools like Woodward/Taft/Aiken/Oyler/Rockdale/West High/Withrow, Community Centers and church basements; She knows that many unhappy people lead quiet lives of desperation in quarter-million dollar houses. Her desire in this work is to understand a person or a family, and make a connection that allows them to use existing strengths to make changes.

She has made educational presentations to, and facilitated groups for kids, teens, parents, and mental health professionals. A sampling of the titles include: Children in Divorce Situations; Single Parent Support Groups; Assessment and Treatment of Child Sexual Abuse; Prevention of Sexual Abuse (in various age groups); Non-Offending Parent Groups; Psychological Readiness in Self Defense; The Eroticized Child: Issues in Management and Treatment; Self Esteem; and Suicide Prevention.

“Whether in community mental health in the first part of my professional career, or in private practice in more recent years, I have learned significant life and work lessons. What really energizes me? Family and group therapy, lots of people in the room!”

Cynthia only provides services through teletherapy, and works with clients age 13 years and up.
