As a Clinical Supervisor at Generational Wellness, Cynthia brings over a decade of experience helping clients and clinicians grow with compassion, skill, and purpose.

Cynthia has practiced in diverse settings including intensive outpatient programs, residential treatment, schools, skilled nursing facilities, and private practice, serving populations ranging from children and teens to veterans, families, and older adults. Her expertise spans trauma, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, mood disorders, and psychosis. She is EMDR-trained and has advanced training in perinatal mental health, suicide prevention, CBT, DBT, and crisis prevention. This breadth of knowledge allows her to mentor therapists in evidence-based and compassionate approaches, while honoring each client’s individuality.
