Lately, you can barely get out of bed and muster up the energy to go about your basic tasks. You still haven't fully recovered from the past and now your current life is bringing unbelievable stress. Honestly, anxiety and depression are kicking your butt - again! Your daily responsibilities, job, and relationships are suffering. Friends are distant and days go by where you barely talk to anyone. Minor frustrations send you into an irrational rage where you want to scream and cry at the same time. Your past pain and current stressors are threatening to hold you as a prisoner. It's a lonely place and it feels like there's no way out.

I have experience working with a variety of presenting problems. While it is hard to admit that it is ok to not be ok, it takes courage to accept help/support in making lasting changes. Many mental health struggles are the result of trying to be strong for too long. I hope to work with motivated clients that want to change and are ready to work hard, dive deep, and have a teachable spirit. I love working with clients who are honest, realistic, want to have a voice, and are ready to make their goals a reality. I will provide encouragement, support, empathy, empowerment, insights, and unconditional acceptance.

I offer trauma-informed care and have experience working with couples, families, individuals, sexual assault victims, depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, crisis management, PTSD and suicidal and homicidal ideation.

Using EMDR & other modalities, such a CBT, IFS & DBT, I work with adults, teens, and families, struggling with conflict, relationship issues, anger, depression, anxiety, divorce, violence, gender identity, family reunification, abuse, and PTSD.
Dealing with trauma and past hurts, struggling with work, relationships, or addiction, managing depression & anxiety or to better understand one's gender identity or sexuality - it isn't easy to address any of these things. I see therapy as a safe, judgment-free, shame-free, and confidential space, where you are free to vent, confide, cry, discuss, imagine, find strength, and be empowered. Most importantly, therapy is a place for hope to come alive, to learn new coping skills, to achieve personal growth, and to discover you are strong, valuable, and greater than any struggle you might have. Change is possible!

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists

What is Internal Family Systems therapy?

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a type of talk therapy that focuses on sub-personalities, or “families,” within a person, which may be made up of wounded parts and unpleasant emotions like anger and shame. These sub-personalities can come into conflict with each other and with an individual’s core Self, leaving the person feeling detached from positive traits such as the “8 C’s” of confidence, calmness, creativity, clarity, curiosity, courage, compassion, and connectedness. By healing a patient’s wounded parts, a therapist aims to restore balance and bring on positive change.

How does Internal Family Systems therapy work?

An IFS therapist will work with a patient to identify their particular sub-personalities, recognize the emotions powering them, and release them. By doing so, the patient should become more able to address any underlying problems their sub-personalities may have been trying to protect them from. Ultimately, a patient discovers ways to manage internal and external conflicts on their own, through techniques such as relaxation exercises, journaling, and making charts depicting the relationships between their core Self and their distinct parts.

Does Internal Family Systems therapy work?

IFS therapy has been shown to help people address conditions such as depression, anxiety, panic, fears and phobias, trauma, and substance use disorders. Some research has also found that it can help individuals deal with symptoms of physical health conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, such as pain, everyday functioning, depressive feelings, and low self-compassion. There are some conditions for which IFS treatment, specifically discussions of one’s “parts,” may be less appropriate, such as schizophrenia or other states that involve psychosis or paranoia.

How long does Internal Family Systems therapy take?

As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for IFS therapy. After becoming comfortable with a therapist and the core concepts of IFS, some patients quickly make progress. While experiences vary, most will find that it is a relatively longer-term therapy, involving months and sometimes years of sessions.
