Internal Family Systems (IFS)

IFS is a non-pathologizing approach to understanding the intimate workings of your internal system. With IFS, your inner intelligence, and my guidance we will work to identify, befriend, witness, and help the “parts” of you that bring you distress to gain clarity, compassion, and connection to their experiences, patterns of behavior, and drive for acting as a protector to you. In this process, you will be able to release past traumatic experiences, negative limiting beliefs, and old stuck energy for symptom relief and improvement. IFS is helpful for those suffering from PTSD, C-PTSD, attachment trauma, anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, relationship issues, and/or chronic pain. IFS can also assist with spiritual growth as well as preparation and integration of psychedelic experiences. 

IFS is an experiential model and can sometimes feel like a deep meditation or trance-like state. The IFS framework can also be held in a “talk therapy” format as we learn about the way your parts operate in your life. In both cases, I act as a supportive guide, helping you connect to your inner intelligence who has the wisdom and warmth to help you map out and build trusting relationships with your individual parts.
