My approach is relational and is informed by: attachment theory, psychodynamic theory, and the Internal Family Systems ( IFS) model.
Life is often experienced through contradictions—within ourselves, our relationships, and the environments we navigate. Making sense of these tensions can be both challenging and clarifying. At times, we feel shaped by stress, emotional wounds, and patterns of attachment—to people, expectations, or ways of thinking and feeling—that keep us from moving forward. Many of my clients are thoughtful and self-aware, yet feel internally stuck despite functioning well. They’ve often spent time reflecting, but find that insight alone hasn’t led to meaningful change.

I utilize Internal Family Systems ( IFS) to give voice to the parts of you that have been severed, ignored or forgotten.
There are times when it is too challenging to deal with significant changes on our own. Whether we are experiencing shifts in our relationships, a separation, dealing with divorce, taking responsibilty for your finances, raising kids, parenting adult children, or allowing the good to flow, we all need support. Sometimes our bodies signal to us that we need help, evidenced by our sleeping (or not) patterns, our (scheduling) eating, and our (high and low) moods. I like to incorporate mindfulness tools to assist you in developing a 'calm' within yourself as you unpack and place problems in their proper perspective.

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.
