For the majority of my career I’ve used a modality called Internal Family Systems (IFS).
IFS holds the premise that our minds naturally have multiple parts, and everyone has an amount of inner conflict. When these inner conflicts grow too big, we are taken over by stress, difficult emotions, disconnection from ourselves, and potentially dis-ease in the body.
As a natural seeker, I studied many forms of therapy, but discovering IFS was life changing. I’ve found it to be the most effective approach.
WORKING WITH ME
My clients discover a sense of space and freedom from the parts of themselves that were in conflict at the beginning of therapy.
A few examples are harsh inner critics, unconscious behaviors that keep you distant from others, and habitual patterns that keep you physically and emotionally stuck. Other common parts I work with are: low self esteem, avoidance, perfectionism, panic, procrastination, worry, compulsions, self-harming, hopelessness, low motivation, and dread.
It’s an incredible experience to witness a client's inner world transform. When the inner world begins to shift, the outer world follows. Life falls into alignment and the true Self shows up. My style is a fine balance of active listening, holding space, and intervening with curiosity, compassion and confidence. Often clients feel they are “in the flow” and the hour passes quickly without notice.
I completed all IFS advanced trainings and I was on staff as a program assistant in 2013. I received my certification from the IFS Institute in 2015.
