IFS Therapist (Internal Family Systems) specialty
Cynthia graduated from Briercrest Seminary in 2013 with a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy.
Cynthia enjoys working with a variety of clients: clients experiencing the impact of trauma and childhood trauma, 2S LGBTQIA+ clients, grief and loss, clients experiencing the unique challenges of anxiety and depression, and more.
She uses IFS (Internal Family Systems) as her main modality, and also draws from her narrative and solution-focused training. She explores creative, collaborative interventions with her clients to help them achieve their potential.
In her free time, Cynthia loves to be in nature, spend time with her kids, spouse, and cats, and to garden in unconventional ways in her back yard.
