Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy

What This Approach Is

​

IFS views the human psyche as a collection of “parts” — inner voices, emotions, beliefs, and protective strategies that each hold a role. Instead of fighting or suppressing them, IFS invites curiosity and compassion, allowing your internal system to soften and reorganize.

This method works by helping you access your core Self — the calm, centered, spacious presence within you. From this place, your parts feel safe enough to be understood rather than feared.

Many people choose IFS because it feels non-pathologizing, deeply respectful, and remarkably effective for long-held emotional patterns.

​

Who This Approach Helps

​

• Anxiety and overthinking

• Shame, inner criticism, or perfectionism

• Trauma or attachment wounds

• Emotional overwhelm

• Longstanding patterns you can’t “talk yourself out of”

• Feeling stuck or conflicted internally

• Identity, belonging, or relational healing

 

What Sessions Focused on This Approach Look Like

​

My IFS work is warm, intuitive, and deeply attuned. We move slowly and intentionally, following what your internal system is ready for. I help you recognize protective parts, understand what they’re trying to manage, and build a relationship with them grounded in compassion.

Sessions may include guided internal inquiry, mindful noticing, somatic cues, and gentle dialogue with different parts. I blend IFS with attachment theory, somatic grounding, mindfulness, and my transpersonal background to make the work accessible and empowering.

Common Questions

Does IFS work over video?
Yes. IFS is one of the most effective virtual modalities.

​

Do I need to know my “parts” beforehand?
Not at all. We discover them gently together.

​

Will the whole session be IFS?
Probably not. I blend IFS naturally with other approaches to support your overall growth.
