Cyndi’s philosophy and passion is to help children and adults increase their emotional stability and develop satisfying and nurturing relationships.

Drawing upon the unique strengths and skills of each individual/family, Cyndi utilizes a variety of therapeutic interventions to meet the emotional needs and behavioral challenges clients present. In addition to traditional counseling skills, Cyndi often makes use of interventions that come from her extensive training in the theory and techniques of play therapy and expressive arts therapy- psychodrama, art, sandtray, poetry, movement, and body-oriented therapeutic techniques.
