Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists in Timnath, CO
I primarily use a person-centered approach that is informed by Internal Family Systems ( IFS), attachment, and narrative theories.
Hello and welcome! Healing is a journey and we all need someone to witness that journey, to walk alongside us as we face the things in our lives that have been deeply painful. We all need someone to care deeply, affirm and validate our experiences, and help us discover what is holding us back from experiencing the change and life we long for. Therapy can be that space for you, to come as you are and experience acceptance, love, hope, and truly being heard. It can be a place where you can grow in awareness and understanding of where you have been, as well as all that you were created to be.

Life’s struggles can leave us feeling lost or confused. Difficulties in relationships can make us feel trapped, hurt, or scared. However, even when things feel hopeless, we all have the potential to grow and find a new direction— individually and in our relationships. I work with individuals and couples seeking to overcome stress, anxiety, and depression in order to get something more out of life. I’ll help you tap into your natural ability to move through challenges to a more balanced and fulfilling way of living.

As of 6/16, I am accepting new clients! I support adults (18+) in healing trauma, building emotional stability, and creating a life that truly feels like their own. I specialize in working with those impacted by relational conflict, cultural expectations, religion or spirituality, and the weight of work or responsibility. Many of the people I work with are the ones everyone else leans on - competent, capable, and dependable - yet privately overwhelmed and second-guessing themselves. Healing is possible. And, It doesn’t require you to abandon yourself - it invites you to come home to yourself.

Together, we’ll tackle chronic stress, attachment wounds, and whatever else life’s thrown at you—while keeping the process open, flexible, and yes, sometimes even a little lighthearted.

I'm trained in EMDR, IFS and other modalities, and bring my clients into the process of determining what their therapy experience will look like.
If you're lacking clarity, purpose or a vision for the future, together we can explore what it looks like to find fulfillment. Your personal values and individual strengths point the way to a more serene and settled way of being. My approach involves understanding the thoughts, feelings, relationships and patterns that led you to today and determining what you want your future to hold.

I integrate approaches such as EMDR, emotionally focused and attachment-based therapy, CBT/DBT skills, IFS-informed parts work, and mindfulness and somatic practices.
Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves or the life they want to be living. Anxiety, life transitions, relationship stress, burnout, or painful past experiences can make it hard to move forward. I work with individuals across the lifespan and couples who want to build a more compassionate relationship with themselves and deeper emotional intimacy in their relationships. Therapy offers a space to make sense of your experiences so healing and meaningful change can begin. Adoption is especially meaningful to me, and I welcome those whose lives have been touched by it.

I find deep satisfaction from helping individuals in their journey toward healing, particularly following life's trials. Life is an unpredictable journey, blending joyous moments and painful experiences. There are instances when the accumulation of these difficulties can lead to feelings of uncertainty, insecurity, and unfulfillment. It's a universal experience sometimes to lose our sense of stability. I am well-acquainted with themes such as death, trauma, bereavement, terminal illness, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and combat. I love working with people who intuitively know something is misaligned and are willing to entrust.

I use Gestalt, ACT and IFS primarily with emphasis on mindfulness and somatic awareness.
You’ve done the reading, you’ve been in therapy before, and you have high emotional intelligence—yet you’re still hitting the same relational or behavioral ceiling. You don’t need someone to just nod and validate you; you need a sharp, deeply attuned partner to help you map the undercurrents and shift the structure of your life. I work with high-functioning individuals, therapists, and couples who are ready to stop circling the problem and start directing real-time change.

I help people heal from religious trauma and the lingering effects of high-control groups and relationships. Many of my clients are carrying guilt, shame, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or a deep uncertainty about who they are and what they believe. In our work together, we slow down, untangle spiritual wounds, explore relationship and community dynamics, and begin rebuilding a steady, supportive, authentic sense of self.

I utilize somatic therapies, IFS, KAP, attachment therapy, and mindfulness counseling to help facilitate an organic resolution process.
In our work together, you will learn how to relate to yourself and the painful realities of life skillfully. To begin, I'll support you in slowly turning attention inward while remaining grounded and open. From this connected space, we'll inquire into the thoughts, behaviors, emotions, and sensations that color your experience of life. Naturally, unresolved trauma and unacknowledged grief will call attention to themselves. We'll meet them together, with genuine curiosity and compassion. Insights emerge both spontaneously and gradually when relating in this way and 'the work' begins to feel more authentic, enjoyable, and healing.

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.
