I use a conversational yet directive approach to therapy and favor modalities such as Internal Family Systems, Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, AIR Network (for trauma), Neurology, Mind Body Medicine, Immanuel Approach, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
If you're ready for a change, you're in the right place. I love being able to help my clients release ties that have kept them stuck or in pain. Together we will work to identify wellness goals, assist in building healthy relationships, and move you toward a stronger more vibrant life. My clients say that I am easy to talk to and authentic, compassionate yet challenging. I help my clients to gain insight and tools so they can move on to live a life they feel good about. I work with individuals, adolescents, families, and couples to solve immediate issues, like anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life dissatisfaction.

I use ACT and IFS as well.
“No matter how difficult it may be, nothing sounds as good to the soul as the truth” – Martha Beck If you are looking for a safe place to stop your circular thinking, to open up, and say it out loud, then this is your invitation to do so. A label you may identify with or are wondering about is: anxiety, depression, PTSD/trauma, neurodivergence, heartbreak, divorce, career confusion, or relationship struggles. These labels can increase our self-understanding or keep us stuck. For couples struggling with lack of connection, poor communication, infidelity, or phase of life issues, take the risk and get busy fighting for what you have.

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.
