Internal Family Systems Therapy
As a trained Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist, I take a systemic and experiential approach to our work together. My goal is to be a supportive anchor and give you to space to slow down and make meaning of the experiences that have impacted you. This transformative process helps you gain clarity over your emotions thus empowering you to make choices that truly align with your values and spirit. This thoughtful approach promotes deeper healing and self-awareness, ultimately building a stronger, more resilient sense of Self.
Underneath fear-based reactions — is a core Self where qualities like strength, curiosity, creativity, and freedom remain untouched.
Even your most disturbing behaviors and emotions, or what IFS refers to as "parts of you," carry positive intentions. By exploring and understanding the burdens these parts hold, you'll start to notice more of these qualities emerge, along with a greater capacity to move forward in ways that align with who you were always meant to be.

Trauma
Traumatic experiences from the past prime our biology for a constant state of emergency. Living on guard, our longings for freedom and connection remain unfulfilled. While we cannot change what happened, we can change the meaning we’ve made from these events. I offer resolution through well-researched methodologies.

Addiction
Addictive behaviors—whether related to substances, food, work, or other habits—are often attempts to soothe emotional distress or manage overwhelming feelings. By emphasizing emotional healing over symptom control, individuals can reshape their relationships with themselves, their feelings, and others.

![Anxiety, OCD, Perfectionism]()
Anxiety
Intrusive and persistent, anxiety can often feel irrational or overwhelming on the surface. In therapy, we work together to slow down these experiences, creating space to explore and understand the underlying triggers. This process allows us to re-educate and update the reactive parts of ourselves that may be stuck in old patterns. With time and attention, relief and healing are possible.

Relationships
Relationships, both beautiful and complex, have a way of bringing out both our best and our most challenging traits. Bringing your relationship into therapy offers the opportunity to untangle deeply ingrained patterns, creating space for growth, healing, and deeper connection. Through this work, you can foster a stronger bond with both yourself and the world around you.

Grief
Loss can stir up uncertainty and discomfort, even when it's expected. In therapy, we take the time to gently explore these feelings, allowing space to process and heal the parts of us that feel unsettled. Finding your inner anchor will give you the strength and clarity to navigate a new path. Understanding and peace are within reach.
