Internal Family Systems Therapy
Evidence-based model of psychotherapy that we are all made up of multiple parts.
Do you find yourself
Feeling Stuck in Internal Conflict
Do you find yourself feeling stuck in internal conflict, with different parts of you pulling in opposite directions, leaving you feeling confused, overwhelmed, or paralyzed? IFS therapy can help you understand and resolve these inner conflicts, creating greater harmony and allowing you to move forward with clarity and confidence.
Haunted by Past Experiences
Do you find yourself haunted by past experiences, with painful memories, emotions, or beliefs shaping your present-day life? IFS therapy can help you identify and heal the "parts" of you that are still carrying the burdens of the past, allowing you to release old wounds and embrace a more fulfilling future.
Struggling with Self-Criticism or Self-Sabotage
Do you find yourself struggling with harsh self-criticism, self-doubt, or self-sabotaging behaviors that hold you back from achieving your goals? IFS therapy can help you understand the origins of these patterns, connect with your compassionate Self, and cultivate a more supportive and loving relationship with yourself.
Feeling Disconnected from Your True Self
Do you find yourself feeling disconnected from your true self, as if you're living on autopilot or wearing a mask to please others? IFS therapy can help you identify and connect with your core Self, the essence of who you truly are, allowing you to live with greater authenticity, purpose, and joy.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an evidence-based model of psychotherapy that we are all made up of multiple parts. These parts take on roles such as the inner child, inner critic, and consist of wounded parts and painful emotions such as anger and shame. These parts often try to control and protect the person from the pain of the wounded parts. The sub-personalities are often in conflict with each other and with one’s core Self, a concept that describes the confident, compassionate, whole person that is at the core of every individual.
I integrate my expertise in psychoanalysis, neuropsychology, life coaching, and mind-body connection, into a unique, holistic approach that guides her clients on an Illuminated Path to joy, inner peace, and freedom. By combining various therapies into customized treatment, I empower clients with knowledge, tools, and strategies to achieve specific and measurable results.

The idea of the core Self
IFS was developed by psychologist Richard Schwartz. In his work as a family therapist, Schwartz began to observe patterns in how people described their inner lives: “What I heard repeatedly were descriptions of what they often called their “parts”—the conflicted subpersonalities that resided within them,” Schwartz says. He began to conceive of the mind as a family, and the parts as family members interacting with one another. Exploring how these components functioned with one another was the foundation for IFS and the idea of the core Self.
The goal of IFS is to help individuals access that core self so they can heal the wounded parts and restore mental balance and harmony. This is achieved by changing the dynamics that create discord among the different parts and the Self. With a deepened sense of Self-awareness, you can get clear about what you want most and create the relationships and life you truly desire.
IFS is an evidence-based psychotherapy model. It has been found to be an effective treatment for improving general functioning and well-being in regard to clients with chronic pain, anxiety, depression, issues with self-concept, and physical health conditions.
