My approach to therapy through
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
I believe that meaningful therapy begins with feeling understood.
My role is not to tell you who you should become.
It is to help you understand the different parts of yourself. What do I mean when I say different parts of yourself? There are times when we hear different voices in our head. One might express interest or excitement about going out with friends, while another part might try to persuade you to stay home.. Once we pay attention to all our parts with greater curiosity and compassion, you can respond to life from a place of calmness, clarity, and confidence rather than fear or self-criticism.
I create a therapeutic relationship that is warm, collaborative, and respectful of your own pace,
Frequently asked questions
Is Internal Family Therapy evidence-based?
Yes. Research supporting IFS continues to grow, particularly in the treatment of trauma,, anxiety, depression, and emotional well-being.
Do I have to revisit traumatic memories?
No. Therapy moves at a pace that feels emotionally safe. Building trust with your protective parts comes before exploring painful experiences.
Is IFS only for trauma?
Not at all. While IFS is very effective in treating trauma and complex trauma, it is also effective for anxiety, perfectionism, relationship issues, burnout, grief and many other emotional struggles.
How do I know if iFS is right for me?
If you’ve ever felt that different parts of you want different things-or if you’re tired of being at war with yourself-IFS may offer a framework that feels both compassionate and deeply transformative.
