Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a type of therapy that allows you to examine yourself and others as multifaceted beings. You have various parts in you and these parts consist of different thoughts, feelings, or sensations. During IFS sessions, we’ll explore your emotions and behaviors through the lens of “parts work” in order to heal wounds, develop harmony within your internal system, and become more Self-led: who you really are, at your core. We all have qualities of courage, confidence, and competence, but many internal obstacles prevent us from accessing our true nature. Being "Self-led" means having compassion for yourself and others and having clarity in relationships to make the right choices.

I am Level 2 trained in IFS.
