Meet Cyn

Cyn (they/them) is a queer, second-generation Portuguese-speaking clinician with a diverse background in community health, education, and advocacy. They earned their Master of Social Work (MSW) from Boston College and hold an academic background in Gender Studies, which informs their intersectional, identity-affirming approach to care.

Cyn has worked extensively in community health centers with high-risk individuals, as well as in schools and alongside local services to strengthen support networks. They specialize in supporting LGBTQ+ youth and adults, immigrants, refugees, survivors of domestic violence, individuals who have experienced systemic or institutional trauma, and empowering folx in queer relationships. Their practice is grounded in a queer and decolonial lens, drawing on the principles of liberation psychology to create spaces of healing, empowerment, and narrative reclamation.

With broad experience supporting individuals navigating complex trauma and acute dissociation pertaining to their identity, Cyn provides collaborative individual therapy tailored to individual needs. Their multidisciplinary approach integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), Narrative Therapy, and somatic practices, while centering client collaboration and advocacy to address the broader contexts of clients’ lives.

Beyond the therapy room, Cyn is deeply engaged in policy and community advocacy, working to promote equity and uplift marginalized voices.
