internal family systems

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a gentle, evidence-based approach that helps you turn toward yourself with curiosity instead of judgment. It’s based on a simple truth: we all have different “parts” within us, the inner critic, the perfectionist, the people-pleaser, the worrier, the dreamer. These parts form for good reasons, often to protect us during stress or pain.

In IFS sessions, we don’t try to get rid of these parts. We get to know them. We learn what they need, where they come from, and how to rebuild trust between them and your deeper Self: the wise, compassionate center within you.

From this grounded place, change happens naturally. Not by forcing or fixing, but by gently re-aligning your inner world.

For a long time, you may have been trying to navigate:

• Stress, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm
• Old patterns that keep resurfacing
• A loud inner critic
• Parts of you in conflict with each other
• Feeling misunderstood or alone in your experience
• A desire to heal but not knowing where to begin
• Relationships that feel strained or confusing

You’ve been doing your best, truly, yet certain parts keep jumping in, trying to manage, protect, or hold everything together.

It makes sense. These parts are tired.
And so are you.

Right now, you might feel:

• Pulled into self-criticism or perfectionism
• Hijacked by overwhelm or shutdown
• Unsure why certain reactions feel so big
• Trapped between what you want and what parts of you fear
• Disconnected from your emotions or your body
• Caught in cycles that once protected you but no longer feel supportive

You want to feel more present, more steady, more yourself, but it’s hard when different parts keep taking over.

You might be wondering, “Is this just who I am? Will it always feel like this?”

Imagine…

• Understanding your parts instead of battling them
• Feeling more compassion toward yourself
• Softening the critic and easing the pressure to “keep it together”
• Navigating relationships with more clarity and less reactivity
• Feeling grounded in your choices
• Building trust within yourself and between your parts
• Experiencing emotional space instead of emotional chaos
• Leading your life from your Self

IFS helps you reconnect with your inner world in a way that brings relief, clarity, and long-term transformation.

A return to your truest Self.

Session Overview

Our first session (or consultation) is all about getting to know you and the parts of you that may be asking for support. Through a series of thoughtful questions and prompts, I’ll learn more about who you are, what you’re currently navigating, and how I can best support your healing and growth.

In ongoing sessions, we’ll begin by checking in with the parts we explored previously:

• Have they shown up again in your daily life?

• What did that look or feel like?

• Is that still where you'd like to focus, or has something new come up?

This kind of reflection helps us understand what happens when certain parts take over and opens the door to exploring how that can shift.

When a part of you arises that needs attention, perhaps a feeling like sadness, anxiety, or a younger inner part, we’ll gently connect with it. That might mean noticing where it lives in your body, sensing its energy, or visualizing it in your inner world. From there, we move slowly and compassionately, getting curious without overwhelming your system.

As we build a relationship with these parts, you’ll begin to “map” how they interact, who’s trying to protect you, who’s feeling hurt, and how they influence your thoughts, behaviors, and choices. This process supports insight, emotional clarity, and greater self-leadership.

Between sessions, practices like journaling, reflection, or creative expression can help you deepen your connection to your parts and bring this awareness into daily life, so you feel more resourced and responsive, even outside of our time together.

Between-Session Support Add-On

IFS is deep, internal work, and sometimes insights arise between sessions. If you'd like a brief space to reflect or ask a clarifying question, this add-on offers light support between sessions via email or text.

Includes:

• Short check-ins (1–2 concise messages per week)

• Support for mapping parts, moments of stuckness, or brief insights

• Responses within 24–48 hours on business days

This isn’t a space for full journal entries or extended processing. That’s what our sessions are for. But it can be a helpful bridge for those moments when something big clicks, or when a part needs a quick anchor.

For teens and young people, we explore emotions and inner experiences by learning how to notice different “parts” of themselves, like the anxious part, the part that feels pressured to be perfect, or the part that feels alone. We get curious about what those parts are trying to say, and how to work with them instead of against them.

This work helps teens build emotional awareness, confidence, and tools to handle stress or challenges. It’s gentle, nonjudgmental, and always at their pace.

Sessions are available via Zoom, FaceTime, or in person.

All parts are welcome
