Welcome to The Hummingbird Path LLC
A relational and educational therapy space for individuals and couples navigating ADHD, attachment wounds, and relationship anxiety.
Hi! I’m Cynthia, a relationship repair specialist, licensed therapist in Arizona, Iowa, and Oregon, and ADHD Coach, who helps people uncover and untangle the deeper patterns behind disconnection and communication breakdown. If you're a people pleaser, someone who shuts down easily, or the one who feels they are barely holding it all together, you're not alone. These responses often grow from childhood trauma, dysfunctional family dynamics, ADHD, or early attachment wounds, and they can be understood and changed.
At The Hummingbird Path LLC, therapy is conversational, grounded, and healing focused. Together, we’ll work to slow down reactive cycles, regulate emotional overwhelm, and help you reconnect and improve communication with the people who matter most.
Tired of constant reactivity, relationship chaos, or the exhausting cycle of emotional responses driven by anxiety, people pleasing, or ADHD?
Master the 3 Rs: End Reactivity, Rumination, and Relationship Frustration
Therapy can unravel the roots of what keeps you stuck.
Understanding childhood attachment and your relationship style and communication can help you disengage from patterns and rebuild healthier relationships.
Relationship and attachment trauma can feel like a tangled garden of reactivity, rumination, and emotional overwhelm.
How do I stop myself from mindless arguments and constant defense?
Try a different 🌿 path.
Why Attachment wounds and ADHD can lead to overwhelming emotional responses…
When the daily chaos of life, work, or relationships triggers constant emotional reactions and reactivity, you could feel hopeless.
You might be an individual navigating the complexity of adult relationships, realizing you have issues with attachment. You may be a couple trapped in a painful loop of relationship frustration. If you’ve tried solving these things alone, or felt unheard by other therapists, you're looking for a different approach.
The Different Path: Building awareness and skills rather than erasing or fixing
Therapy and somatic work aren't about erasing the past or trying to "turn off your brain." Attachment Trauma and diagnosable conditions like Anxiety, ADHD and PTSD will affect how you cope today, but they don't define your future.
What to Expect
I provide direct, honest relationship-focused therapy to hold space for whatever shows up - your anger, your pain, your scattered thoughts. Together, we'll give you the practical tools to manage the three big "Rs" that keep you locked down: Reactivity, Relationship Frustration, and Rumination.
By emphasizing skill-building and emotional accountability, you'll gain lasting emotional regulation, greater self-compassion, and deeper connections. My approach goes beyond just teaching therapeutic language; I help clients actively practice and internalize these techniques, empowering them to respond to life’s challenges with confidence and flexibility.
The ultimate goal is that you can experience JOY once again (not, I just want to be happy). This is what the hummingbird symbolizes - resilience, strength, joy, and flexibility.

“True healing isn't about erasing the past. It's about harnessing the winds of your present and charting a new path forward, with the past as part of your story, not your destination." - Cynthia Djengue, LCSW

Collaborative, honest, and straightforward.
Warm, collaborative, and structured. From our first conversation, you’ll be met with empathy and clear guidance. We’ll talk about what brings you in, what you hope will change, and how we’ll track progress together.
Your first session. Let’s start with a gentle assessment - your story, strengths, and goals. I’ll outline a plan so you know what to expect, including session cadence and how we’ll measure growth.
A practical, skills‑based approach. You’ll learn tools & resources for communication, boundary‑setting, and emotional regulation you can use right away between sessions. Ex. = brief exercises to try at home so momentum continues outside the therapy room.
For couples. Sessions focus on strengthening connection: active listening, repairing after conflict, and building new patterns that support trust and teamwork. You’ll leave with mindful practices to do together during the week.
Between sessions. I might share resources and check‑ins to help you apply what we discuss. Small, consistent steps create lasting change.
Respect. Our work is confidential and trauma‑informed, welcoming all identities and relationships. You set the pace; I ensure the process feels steady and supportive.
My goal is for each session to feel clear, doable, and genuinely helpful so you’re not just talking about change, you’re living it. I’m here to guide the process, bring ideas and insights, and keep things moving. The average client is usually in therapy 3-4 years.
