I use primarily Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (learning how to acknowledge and accept feelings without getting stuck, while using your own values to guide behavior), and Internal Family Systems (understanding our own complexity, getting to know parts of ourselves that have various needs, and learning how to meet them).
I support clients who want to better connect to themselves, their emotions, their values, and their body. Because this type of identity work typically happens in early adulthood, I tend to work with folks 18-40. Often, but not always, my work involves understanding and managing anxiety, depression, the impact of trauma, stress, relationships, pregnancy/parenting transitions, and sexuality & gender identity.

Research shows that people would rather experience physical pain than emotional pain. These tough times can make us feel hopeless, vulnerable, and powerless. As we know, we cannot avoid life’s hurts that leave us with pain, guilt, anger, and shame; however, we can learn from these emotions. Emotions influence our thinking processes, impacting how we see the world. Therapy can help clear these barriers of uncertainty, which can prevent us from achieving our personal goals, getting that promotion, or achieving a healthy relationship.

You are constantly putting yourself last and helping everybody else. You feel a lot of anxiety, sadness and stress not knowing what to do. You may find yourself coping with food, too much of work or TV and neglecting your health.

Your days are filled with tasks and worries; you never find time for yourself. You feel exhausted, resentful and sad. But you feel you need to take care of people; if you won't, nobody will!

Are you ready to break cycles of trauma, dysfunction, and anxiety this season? My clients are striving for peace as they pursue a life that looks/feels dramatically different than that of just one generation before. They're are often the first in their family to achieve something (e.g., college, purchase a home, generational wealth, avoid substance abuse, etc.,). While their culture is deeply meaningful to them, they can find themselves "caught between worlds", struggling to set healthy boundaries with friends and family who don't quite get it or feeling guilty when they do. If this sounds like you, you're in the right place.

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.
