You’ve built a life that looks good on paper—but inside, something feels off. You may be successful in your career yet quietly battling anxiety, burnout, or relationship struggles that no one sees. You might love your partner but feel stuck in the same arguments, craving connection and wondering why it feels so hard. Or you may be carrying the weight of past trauma while trying to keep everything else running. You’re insightful and capable and have likely tried to manage this on your own. But you’re tired. You want more than coping—you want clarity, relief, and deeper fulfillment in your life and relationships.

Life feels full—but not always full of what matters most. You may be a couple caught in repeated tension or silence, wondering if things will ever feel easy again. You may be a new parent, exhausted and overwhelmed, missing who you used to be. Or perhaps you’re a high-functioning, high-achieving professional—calm on the outside, but anxious and overextended inside. Therapy can help you reconnect with yourself, your values, and your relationships.

Many people reach out to therapy feeling stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand. You may be struggling with food, addiction, trauma, relationship conflict, or overwhelming emotions that seem to repeat no matter how hard you try to change. Often these struggles are connected to deeper experiences—attachment wounds, painful memories, or coping strategies that once helped you survive but now hold you back. What most people want is relief, clarity, healthier relationships, and a sense of peace with themselves and their lives.

Counseling can be intimidating, but I want to foster a safe, compassionate, and empathetic place where you can talk about the things you don’t know how to talk about. As a therapist, I seek to create a space for your true self to shine through as we work together to confront the challenges, insecurities, and past traumas you carry, and to ultimately find healing. At this stage as you consider therapy and seek to find the right fit, I want to encourage you by simply saying that you are enough. You do not have to be more than who you are. And who you are is worthy of love, of care, and of mental and emotional health.

Therapy is a process and a journey. It takes courage and commitment. For many people, walking through a counselor's door is a huge step. It can feel hopeful and scary at the same time. For others who already have some experience with therapy, they may be looking for someone who can give a different perspective or address a different issue. My approach to counseling is holistic: mind, body and spirit. My goal is to create a safe environment where trust can build and issues can be addressed.

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.
