IFS-informed, my approach is to enhance your brain's processing capacity for memories, feelings, and self-sabotaging beliefs.
I rely heavily on EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Flash Technique (blinking) & IFS. EMDR replicates our brain's natural healing process that occurs during sleep. Flash allows the brain to process information with brief awareness of traumatic memories. Once painful material is processed, it doesn't have to be revisited over and over.

My work is integrative, trauma-informed, and grounded in attachment theory, systems theory, parts work ( IFS-informed), and somatic awareness.
Many people come to therapy feeling emotionally exhausted from holding so much for so long. You may be used to putting others first, staying strong, or managing everything on your own while internally feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in painful relationship patterns. You may have learned to minimize your own needs to keep relationships stable, or carry guilt for setting boundaries even when you know they’re necessary. For some, these patterns come from childhood dynamics, cultural expectations, or relationships where emotional needs were minimized, often leaving you feeling disconnected from you.

I use a combination of Somatic Experiencing (SE), Internal Family Systems ( IFS), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
Life is hard and many times we aren’t taught how to navigate this human experience, often feeling lost and with limited direction. This is exacerbated by experiences in which we are invalidated, dehumanized, and abused. This may lead to persistent emotional pain, isolation, shame, fear, and emptiness. My approach is led by my belief in human dignity and respect, focusing on those whose humanity and existence have been historically negated.

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.
