About
INTERNAL FAMILY SYSTEMS (IFS) THERAPY
Discover the profound journey within yourself through Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy—a gentle exploration into the intricate 'parts' that influence your unique human experience.
Parts Within Us
An interconnected tapestry of ‘parts’ live within us, shaped by experiences, emotions, and beliefs. As human beings, we have what’s known as multiplicity of mind or different personalities or aspects of ourselves. This is true for everyone. In our sessions, we navigate through these parts with a direct and caring approach, fostering understanding, acceptance, and integration.
Benefits of IFS Therapy
- Self-Awareness - Together, we will explore the different ‘parts’ of yourself, that will shed light on how they influence your thoughts, feelings, moods, decisions, habits, and behaviors.
- Insight - When you begin to see and hear the intention of your ‘parts’ and they feel heard, understood by and connected to you, a natural calm, peace, and gentleness arise inside of you.
- Enhanced Relationships - The process of learning about your internal system contributes to a better understanding of others and improved connections.
- Reduced Symptoms of Anxiety and Depression - By addressing underlying emotional and relational issues, we alleviate symptoms and support lasting well-being.

How IFS Therapy Works
In our sessions, we work collaboratively to connect to and understand your internal parts. This process involves developing compassionate relationships with each part, understanding the root causes of your suffering, and allowing greater harmony and integration to unfold within yourself.
Relational Life Therapy and EMDR Integration
Alongside IFS, I incorporate EMDR and Relational Life Therapy, and developmental trauma practices to enhance your ability to heal and nurture healthy relationships.
These pains you feel are messengers. Listen to them.
