I am Erin Cynthia, a Behavior Coach, with an immense passion for turning problems into solutions. I've devoted my career to assisting children and their families in overcoming behavioral difficulties, improving relationships, and confronting challenges head-on. Using my persuasive and emotionally-aware style, I produce powerful strategies able to illuminate paths towards healthier perceptions and self-acceptance.Today, as a professional, I coach so I can shed light on the beauty of uniqueness. I believe in the power of acceptance, optimism, and resilience and validate every feeling, every struggle, and every win.
My commitment extends beyond merely creating strategies; it is about creating impact. Every meeting is meticulously chosen to create a transformative experience for the child and parents. I believe listening & empowering hold the power to change mindsets and enable individuals to recognize themselves as complete and enough just as they are.
Growing up, I grappled with ADHD, a condition often misunderstood and stigmatized. Battling the whirl of thoughts, the ceaseless distractions, and the loneliness that it often brought was challenging. However, this challenge morphed into empowerment and empathy, fueling my desire to be an advocate for children navigating similar struggles.
Equipped with the understanding that every child's journey is unique, I utilize my own experiences to nurture and inspire. My purpose isn't simply to teach, but to understand and transform. With a deep-seated passion combining with authentic personal experience, I dedicate my work to every child searching for their voice in the midst of their personal tempest.
My teenage daughter had hard time transitioning back to in-person school after Covid related closures. She did not really have any friends, started having academic and behavioral problems at school and at home. We made a decision to enroll her in home schooling program and hire a tutor who can support her not just academically, but also provide emotional guidance and support. Erin connected with our daughter during the introductory session and provided more strategies and tools to her and us than we received during year long counseling sessions and teen support group meetings at Kaiser. She also set certain rules and expectations for our daughter to succeed in school, helped her to prioritize her assignments and improve her grades. She has a natural ability to talk to children/teens(and parents too) , but most importantly be heard and understood, which promotes a positive change all around.
I recommend Potentia as your solution to your child's challenges in any area!

Regular tutoring sessions with Potentia. He is typically very shy and, in the past had refused to go to tutoring. But with Erin, he feels Comfortable and attends his sessions. She has been very flexible with us in terms of what will work for our child and it has been a great success! She is patient with him on areas where he struggles doesn't give up when met with an obstacle and instead finds creative ways to engage him. She is kind, Funny and makes learning fun. We highly recommend her!
Ms. Erin's, owner of Potentia, vibrant energy and determination to support children is unmatched. She has been such a positive support for our son and for us! She is our go to when we are lost as parents as to how to handle situations and our son absolutely adores her without knowing what he is working on because she makes it so fun and engaging. We Love her to pieces and consider her relationship with our family one for a lifetime!

before Potentia, I was in and out of the mental hospital. I had no boundaries set with anything. I didn’t know how to process emotions and I also chose to make bad decisions knowing that they would negatively affect me. I’d worked with therapists before but I could never get that connection with them and never felt like I could actually trust them. When I first started working with Erin, I didn’t really see a point but she found a way to really get through to me because I could see that she genuinely cared about me. Through that she taught me how to make myself have a purpose and positive outlook on things. I was able to raise my grades and actually pass school instead of drop out. Not only did she help me with school but she also taught me how to appreciate myself and learn new and better ways to cope. Instead of spiraling down a hole she taught me how to stop and climb back up. I would 100% recommend her to anyone else because she is an amazing teacher/coach for not only school but for mental health and well being.
