Internal Family Systems

This approach helps you explore and heal the different parts of yourself that may feel anxious, critical, or overwhelmed. I’ve had advanced training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), I am not yet Level 1 certified so I focus on parts work with clients. By understanding and caring for these parts, you can experience healing from anxiety, self-criticism, and trauma. My work is rooted in creating a safe space for this inner exploration, allowing you to feel more whole and at peace.

I use the book Self Therapy as a companion guide for working with clients in IFS sessions.

I am in the process of receiving training and certification in Internal Family Systems therapy.

IFS identifies and addresses different parts, or "sub-personalities," within an your mental system. These parts can sometimes conflict with each other and contribute to emotional distress and unhealthy patterns of behavior. IFS views these parts as having positive intentions, even if their actions may not always be helpful. The goal of IFS therapy is to help you understand and heal these internal dynamics by fostering self-awareness and self-compassion.

As a seasoned therapist, I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you discover the harmony within. IFS recognizes that we all have different "parts" – some protective, some vulnerable. We'll explore these parts with curiosity and compassion, healing inner conflicts and fostering self-acceptance. IFS empowers you to access your core Self, a place of wisdom and healing, leading to greater peace and well-being.

I'm one of about 10 trained IFS therapists in the city of Dallas. Similar to the film Inside Out, at times we all have these emotions warring for the spotlight within us. Insecurity, empathy, sadness, joy, perfectionism and more. Connect deeply with all these parts, understanding your core needs, and developing self compassion builds a grounded and unique sense of self to carry you through the various changes of life.

Internal Family Systems (IFS): is an effective tool to help center and ground you in your true self, relieving challenging parts that carry pain and act in unhealthy ways.

Many (or maybe most) people probably view themselves as individuals with a unified mind and a single personality. IFS, on the other hand, recognizes that every mind consists of sub personalities that come into conflict with one another and create inner turmoil. We will work to reconcile these inner differences and reach a state of harmony.

As an IFS Informed Therapist, I will help you connect with the feelings and beliefs that are no longer serving you. In IFS, we believe there are "no bad parts." All parts are welcome. All emotions, all thoughts and all beliefs that live in you have some reason they are showing up. We'll figure that out and help those emotions, thoughts and beliefs trust that you can take care of them from here.

One of the ways I help clients learn more about themselves is to explore the different parts of themselves. Have you ever noticed that you feel internally conflicted? Do some parts of yourself feel misunderstood or shoved down? I use IFS, or Parts Work, to help you get to know the different parts of yourself that come with their own emotions and perspectives. All of those parts make up the whole you and my goal is to bring those parts to your awareness and help you grow in self-compassion.

We all contain many parts of ourselves who are working together to take us through each day. But often these parts are in conflict, or we don't recognize when they are taking the reigns from our true selves. Through IFS, we can get to know these parts better, understand how they are trying to help us, and help you feel more harmonious and aligned with your whole self.

As an informed-IFS therapist, I’ve completed multiple formal trainings and continue to expand my expertise. I use IFS to help clients connect with their internal system, heal parts of themselves that may be stuck in past trauma, and promote self-compassion and integration. It’s a transformative approach for those looking to understand and embrace all parts of themselves.

Are you searching for a trained IFS Therapist? IFS is an experiential, somatic, trauma-focused therapeutic approach that helps you to connect with your true self and heal from trauma. IFS therapy differs from other approaches by viewing individuals as having an internal system of parts led by a core Self, emphasizing compassionate, non-pathologizing healing through understanding, unburdening, and harmonizing these parts to address root causes rather than just managing symptoms.

IFS is a way of looking at the different parts that make up each one of us. When we get to know those parts, both the protective ones and the ones that are hurting, we can help them heal. IFS helps us get to know our Self and understand the capacity our Self has to heal those parts and let the protectors move on to find other jobs.

I have completed training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), a powerful approach that helps clients explore different parts of themselves, heal attachment wounds, and foster self-compassion. IFS allows individuals to understand and unburden emotions that may be keeping them stuck.
