I draw on my training in experiential, emotional, body based approaches (AEDP and IFS), as well as CBT.
I help people see and appreciate their strengths. When we are compassionate with ourselves, we discover that even aspects of our personalities that get in our way have developed for good reasons. This understanding tends to quiet our self-criticism, opening the door for creative problem-solving and growth. As Carl Rogers famously said, “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”

I work with people experiencing discomfort and dysregulation across a wide spectrum of issues ranging from anxiety to attachment ruptures, from relationship issues to sexual boundary violations, and from imposter syndrome to perfectionism. Our work will harness discernment and curiosity as we uncover the root causes of imbalance, finding our way to deep understanding and compassion & thus healing. I utilize a holistic and integrative approach that traverses contemporary psychodynamic therapy, attachment therapy, Somatic Experiencing, harm reduction, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and internal family systems work.

My approach is primarily psychodynamic but I individualize by also using my experience with CBT, Trauma Focused CBT and IFS (understanding the different parts of you that are often in conflict) when these will help you reach your goals.
Though people can share similar life experiences the impact of these experiences is unique to each individual. Together we will help you gain insights to how your unique early relationships and experiences are informing your current relationships, feelings, thoughts and behaviors. We will focus on understanding your difficulties, how you protect yourself from painful feelings and how this might be interfering with your relationships and enjoyment of life. We will identify your strengths to guide you towards new ways of coping with stressors and reducing your anxiety and depression. Most importantly you will learn self-compassion.

As an Internal Family Systems therapist, I help you to become in deeper relationship to all the parts that make up who you are.
Psychotherapy can help you to develop greater self awareness, deepen connections with others, and create a personally meaningful life. I see myself as a concerned and nonjudgmental partner in this process. I try to foster an atmosphere of safety in which you experience a sense of freedom to think and feel. Maybe you are having trouble adjusting to a new change or are feeling stuck; perhaps you repeatedly find yourself in unhappy relationships or conflicts at work and struggle with low self-esteem. It may be that your familiar assumptions and modes of behaving, which originally developed out of need, are no longer working for you.

In my practice, I help individuals move through some of the most difficult moments in their lives the strong emotional tides and automatic responses that are often inherent to any unexpected life change, or past traumatic experiences. Our everyday responses to stress - anxiety, anger, irritability, bouts of depression, or fatigue and the effectiveness of our ability to cope with current stressors are often related to painful past experiences, some recent and some from long ago. My practice is dedicated to offering individuals the supports necessary to navigate through pain from our past to a place of resiliency.

If you're feeling down, anxious, or overwhelmed, it may be because managing the day-to-day minutiae of our busy schedules often leaves little space to register our emotional experiences until they hit a fever pitch. Although many of us adapt by pushing the pain into the background much of the time, these hidden disappointments, hurts, and resentments don't disappear; they grow and can fester. Creating a safe place to process this pain is vital, and can free us to realize and accomplish our goals.

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.
