Carrying a lot inside? Maybe it’s emotional intensity, relationship challenges, job pressure, spiritual questions, or an uneasy sense of disconnection from yourself.
Therapy is a supportive relationship centered on your needs and hopes, where it's safe to slow down and pay attention to what’s happening beneath the surface. It's like a clearing in the woods for listening to yourself and your life: stories held in your body, patterns shaped by family, pressures from the culture around you. Listening and being listened to this way helps you shape a path forward that honors who you are and who you want to become.

Therapy should be a space where we can be curious about your internal world and the impact of your identities, external systems, and relationships on it. Working with me would mean examining the connection between past and present, attachment patterns or wounds, coping and defense mechanisms, and how trauma manifests in your body. I encourage exploration of meaning and origins of behaviors, and often incorporate ‘parts work’ to help break down the ‘why’ and address the shame often attached to them. When appropriate, I also blend EMDR or other somatic practices into our work.

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.
