Internal Family Systems (IFS)
I am a Certified Level 3 IFS practitioner specializing in eating and mind-body healing. IFS is a powerful modality that helps us connect to our different parts and to Self, a healing energy that resides at the core of all of us. Our true essence, Self is always calm, compassionate and courageous—and knows exactly what we need to heal.
​
IFS in a nutshell
We are all made of many parts: parts that want to be healthy, parts that overeat, inner critics and more. All parts have positive intentions—even the ones that cause us trouble. For example, parts may use food to protect us from pain or create physical symptoms to bring our attention to something important. In IFS, we gently get to know our parts and how they are trying to help. When parts are understood, they can relax and become more Self-led—returning to their naturally-valuable roles in the system and harmoniously lending their important gifts.

What happens during my sessions?
​​I practice what I call Relational IFS, a person-centered approach to parts work that flows in and out of the IFS protocol based on each client’s needs. Classic IFS is an internal process of directly communicating with parts, but it doesn’t work for everyone at every moment. I found that the most important component of healing is the ability to hold Self presence: a compassionate, curious energy with no agenda but to connect. With IFS as my primary lens, I hold space for your parts and support your system in finding balance—whether that looks like a deep internal process or a conversation between us. Check out this podcast to learn more about my approach.
