Her clinical journey began with a practicum at Ascension Seton Shoal Creek Hospital (SSCH), where she honed her skills in case management.

Facilitating both adolescent and multi-family DBT groups, Cyndi’s specialized training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) commenced in the intensive outpatient program at Ascension Seton Behavioral Health. This training provided critical support to women who have experienced sex trafficking, sexual exploitation, and domestic violence.
