Therapy for Life’s Changing Seasons.

line.png

At LifeStory Collaborative Counseling, I offer a compassionate, relational space for adults who are carrying the complexity of change, loss, responsibility, aging, illness, caregiving, or emotional overwhelm.

Your Story is Still Unfolding.

We live within the chapters of our life stories, having arrived where we find ourselves through our experiences and relationships, and their effects on us. We have the opportunity in therapy to reflect on our narratives and better understand them and ourselves. We can influence how we want our next chapters to unfold, where we want our narratives to take us as we move our story forward.

​

Therapy with me offers you an invitation to consider who you are and how you feel: about your past, your present, and your envisioned future. My work is grounded in the belief that therapy is not simply about being listened to – it is about being truly heard. Together, we will explore your attachments, beliefs, and personal history with curiosity and care, helping you better understand your circumstances, and the story you are living now. No one matters more to your story than you.

INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING

Therapy for adults seeking support with life transitions, aging-related concerns, grief and loss, caregiver stress, chronic illness, anxiety, depression, and more.

SUPPORT AND THERAPY GROUPS

Group offerings designed to provide connection, reflection, and shared support around specific life experiences, transitions, or emotional challenges.

RELATIONSHIP COUNSELING

Therapy for individuals or partners navigating relational stress, communication challenges, life changes, or shifting needs within meaningful relationships.

CONSULTATION & SUPERVISION

Professional individual or group consultation, and supervision for licensed therapists seeking relational, reflective support in their clinical work/development.

Hi, I'm Cynthia.

I didn’t just stumble into becoming a therapist. Sitting in the client’s seat, exploring and gaining insight into my own journey of wide-ranging life experiences taught me the richness and power of being seen, heard, known and companioned in a therapeutic relationship.

​

​Working with me is like having a conversation; it’s about our mutual openness, trust, and respect. I view therapy as a collaborative process in which you find the support that encourages you to express your deepest concerns. Together, we will work to restore your sense of connection to the people, relationships, and goals most important to your feelings of well-being.

As we become aware of ourselves as storytellers we realize we can use our stories to heal and make ourselves whole.
