Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists in Boca Raton, FL
I have a particular love of working through trauma with clients, using Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Sandplay Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and other trauma informed care.
Wondering where to start on your therapeutic journey can be overwhelming. Or maybe you’ve been to therapy before, but have not experienced the results you were hoping for. You don’t have to do it alone.

IFS and EMDR are unique therapy models.
Trauma is BIG...and small. It comes in many forms and at all stages of life. Do you sometimes have flashbacks to events that happened long ago? Do certain words, objects, people or places trigger you? Do you wonder if perhaps something that happened that you can't forget was a traumatic event? Do you wonder if you suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder? Did anyone ever tell you they think you have PTSD? I use a combination of IFS, EMDR and Brainspotting to help you resolve PTSD, life conflicts and severe stressors. Take the next step to see if an All Day Intensive is right for you or regular hourly sessions if that works best.

I am passionate about treating those impacted by traumatic experiences through evidence-based treatments such as IFS, EMDR, DBT, & CBT.
Struggling with mental health issues can create the belief that you are not good enough. You may even think that you're "crazy." These thoughts only breed more hopelessness & self-doubt. However, you may not realize that the behaviors you now consider crazy were most likely useful at one point in time. Learning to shift your perspective reduces feelings of shame & opens you up to new solutions. Empowering yourself through compassion can illuminate even the darkest parts of yourself. Feeling lost in the midst of your mental health is an isolating experience. A major goal as your therapist is to help you feel more connected.

Are you struggling with self-confidence? Do you second-guess and shrink yourself in relationships? Find yourself upset "for no reason" often? You’re a hard worker, you use your logic, but still question your worth, feeling disconnected and powerless. Maybe you’re struggling with grief and loss, or coping with the chaos of a past or recent trauma. It’s all overwhelming, and you’re ready for things to get better. You’re ready to find the clarity you know is there. I want to help you get there.

I have worked extensively with individuals struggling with a wide range of issues, including trauma, anxiety, depression, and addiction.

I guide clients in identifying and healing wounded parts while fostering a connection with their core Self, which is inherently wise, compassionate, and resilient.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists
What is Internal Family Systems therapy?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a type of talk therapy that focuses on sub-personalities, or “families,” within a person, which may be made up of wounded parts and unpleasant emotions like anger and shame. These sub-personalities can come into conflict with each other and with an individual’s core Self, leaving the person feeling detached from positive traits such as the “8 C’s” of confidence, calmness, creativity, clarity, curiosity, courage, compassion, and connectedness. By healing a patient’s wounded parts, a therapist aims to restore balance and bring on positive change.
How does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
An IFS therapist will work with a patient to identify their particular sub-personalities, recognize the emotions powering them, and release them. By doing so, the patient should become more able to address any underlying problems their sub-personalities may have been trying to protect them from. Ultimately, a patient discovers ways to manage internal and external conflicts on their own, through techniques such as relaxation exercises, journaling, and making charts depicting the relationships between their core Self and their distinct parts.
Does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
IFS therapy has been shown to help people address conditions such as depression, anxiety, panic, fears and phobias, trauma, and substance use disorders. Some research has also found that it can help individuals deal with symptoms of physical health conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, such as pain, everyday functioning, depressive feelings, and low self-compassion. There are some conditions for which IFS treatment, specifically discussions of one’s “parts,” may be less appropriate, such as schizophrenia or other states that involve psychosis or paranoia.
How long does Internal Family Systems therapy take?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for IFS therapy. After becoming comfortable with a therapist and the core concepts of IFS, some patients quickly make progress. While experiences vary, most will find that it is a relatively longer-term therapy, involving months and sometimes years of sessions.
