EMDR, parts work ( IFS), and Polyvagal theory (and somatic approaches to regulate the nervous system) highly influence my therapeutic work, but we will use the language/techniques that make the most sense to you and your goals.
It’s a new season of life, and it’s not turning out the way you expected. Shifting into this new role—whether it’s becoming a parent, entering peri/menopause, getting married, changing careers, starting school, retiring, joining a new team, etc.—has brought unexpected challenges, leaving you anxious, overwhelmed, lonely, frustrated, or even depressed. You hold high expectations for yourself, and this gap between expectation and reality can feel heavy. Old patterns or triggers may also keep resurfacing, making it hard to move forward. You’re ready to build momentum, confidence, and a renewed sense of peace and purpose.

Do you ask yourself “I’m smart, why is this so difficult?” Or find yourself repeating patterns where you think, “I should know better?” Maybe you were identified as Gifted as a child (or your teen is gifted) and wonder why they call it "gifted" when things are hard? Do you feel you lost your giftedness when you entered high school and gifted "support" became AP classes? Then maybe you could use a guide to help you uncover and understand those things you feel you “should know” or be able to do but might not have ever been taught. Bringing yourself in line with who you want to be is one of the things therapy can do for you.

I also use IFS and attachment theory, building toward deeper processing at your pace before we dive in.
You have not felt like yourself and you are not sure who you are becoming on the other side of this. Maybe you are grieving a person, a pregnancy, a plan, a dream, or a version of your life you had planned. Maybe your birth experience left you feeling disconnected from your baby in ways that are hard to admit. Maybe infertility has quietly taken over everything and you are carrying a question you are afraid to say out loud. Or you are standing at the edge of a major life transition with no idea who you are anymore. You deserve a therapist who has navigated her own life shifting and shows up ready to help you find your footing.

You don’t have to love every moment of motherhood to be a good mom — and you don’t have to navigate anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or life transitions alone.

Many of my clients are caring, capable people who are used to holding everything together while quietly struggling inside.

Trauma leaves a residue of dysfunctional thoughts, behaviors, and medical conditions that can and need to be detoxed out. EMDR treatment has effects such as no longer depending on pharmaceuticals, having an extra second to think, & more. I have spent two decades studying personality disorders, & the body's mechanism to dissociate. A spark was ignited when I first taught self-efficacy to orphaned and trafficked girls in India and I have been striving for change when others have given up ever since. We need to redefine and change the vocabulary of "mental illness" and "stable; into "gifted" and "recovered".

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.
