Internal Family Systems

Internal Family Systems Therapy is a foundational aspect of work. IFS is a therapeutic approach that views the mind as a family system of interrelated parts, each with unique perspectives and roles. IFS helps clients identify and understand these different parts, which supports a feeling of integration and coherence in our lived experiences. By addressing the underlying conflicts and traumas that may be affecting these parts, IFS aims to promote healing, self-compassion, and personal growth.

IFS views multiplicity of mind as normal. You have different parts and so does your partner. You also have Self, an inner wisdom. The parts meeting adds to the complexity of inner emotions, desires and vulnerability, all of which need to be tapped into in order to facilitate deep connectedness. It is important to address the parts that are triggered by their issues. Those parts are trying to protect us from hurt and trauma. The angry part of you can turn into a resource for change.

We all contain many parts of ourselves who are working together to take us through each day. But often these parts are in conflict, or we don't recognize when they are taking the reigns from our true selves. Through IFS, we can get to know these parts better, understand how they are trying to help us, and help you feel more harmonious and aligned with your whole self.

IFS identifies and works with the sub-personalities or “families” that exist in each person’s psyche. These sub-personalities — for example, the Inner Critic — represent the places within us that are wounded and store painful emotions that conflict with each other and our core, or divine, essence. I received over a year of individual supervision and consultation to guide my growth and ability to use IFS well.

I’m trained in IFS-informed therapy and specialize in helping women and moms heal parts of themselves shaped by trauma, childhood wounds, and motherhood fears. I guide clients in identifying protective parts and reconnecting with their core Self, creating lasting change in how they navigate relationships, triggers, and parenting.

Also known as parts work, this therapy is useful in helping survivors of trauma who struggle with intense emotions, like shame and anger. The premise is that we're all made up of parts, some of which are wounded and protective, and that our intense reactions in the face of triggers ultimately serve to protect us. By attuning to these parts, we become less reactive because we understand what they need, and how to provide for them in a healthy way.

IFS is a way of looking at the different parts that make up each one of us. When we get to know those parts, both the protective ones and the ones that are hurting, we can help them heal. IFS helps us get to know our Self and understand the capacity our Self has to heal those parts and let the protectors move on to find other jobs.

I integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS) to create a deeply compassionate approach to healing trauma. EMDR helps reprocess painful memories, while IFS allows us to understand the protective parts that have carried the weight of those experiences. Together, we’ll help your system find balance, so past wounds no longer define your present. My goal is to guide you toward healing with self-compassion, clarity, and a renewed sense of inner peace.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) explores the different “parts” of ourselves that hold pain, fear, or protect us from harm. I help clients recognize and integrate these parts, fostering compassion and a sense of inner harmony. My expertise in IFS allows me to guide clients in reclaiming disowned aspects of themselves, creating transformative healing and helping them feel more whole, empowered, and aligned with their authentic self.

While I’m not formally trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS), I draw heavily from its concepts in my work. I’m well-versed in IFS theory and have experience applying it to help clients explore their inner parts, understand their internal conflicts, and foster self-compassion. By integrating IFS principles, I guide clients through healing and reconnecting with their true selves, offering support in navigating complex emotions and trauma.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is a transformative, evidence-based approach that helps you understand and heal your inner world. It views the mind as made up of sub-personalities, or "parts," each with its own perspective. By fostering a compassionate relationship with these parts, especially the wounded and protective ones, IFS promotes emotional healing, reduces inner conflict, and enhances self-awareness. Ideal for addressing trauma, anxiety, and relationship challenges.

Have you ever said to yourself, "part of me feels one way, another part of me feels another." IFS is a theory based on the idea that we all experience multiplicity of self and when we make efforts to hear and validate our parts, we can help them unburden and trust the Self to lead. I am IFS informed, not yet certified.

Internal Family Systems is a powerfully transformative, evidence-based model of psychotherapy. We believe the mind is naturally multiple, and that is a good thing. Our inner parts contain valuable qualities and our core Self knows how to heal, allowing us to become integrated and whole. In IFS all parts are welcome.

My work is informed by Internal Family Systems. This means that I'll help you with exploring the different parts of yourself & how they all work together to both serve you and potentially keep you from your overall goals. I aim to help you have compassion and understanding towards the parts of yourself, while building up your ability to live from your most authentic Self.
