IFS Therapy
"The Self is not something we have to develop or build; it is already there, underneath the layers of our protective parts." Dr. Richard Schwartz

I am currently accepting new clients
With over 20+ years of clinical experience, I hold extensive training in various therapy modalities (CBT, DBT, Psychodynamic, Narrative, ERP). In my own personal therapy, I was introduced to IFS (Internal Family Systems). During my own therapy, I began to have shifts toward authentic healing that no other therapy modality had provided to me. I experienced a profound sense of inner repair and healing, while also developing a greater capacity to trust and follow my own Self-led discernment.
Because of my personal healing journey experiences, I am now a Certified IFS therapist. I solidly use this experiential model in my work with clients. This non-pathologizing approach, allows us to move beyond the intellectual understanding of your lived experiences by connecting with your nervous system (mind, body and spirit).
My role as a therapist is to guide you in your journey of rediscovering your Self. You have an inner Self with qualities like curiosity, calm, confidence, connectedness, courage, and compassion. You have always had it, even if you do not feel access to it currently. Our work will bring you into relationship with your Self. Once your system knows that Self is present, healing can begin.
I have spent decades learning how people heal. It is my honor to support you in getting to know the parts of you that are seeking change, while also getting to know the parts of you who have been working so hard in the same way, often for many years, without the results they need.
I believe we can only guide others as far as we have traveled ourselves. Because of this, my practice is rooted in my own ongoing personal and professional inner work. I am deeply committed to my own growth so that I can show up fully, authentically and safely for yours.
