IFS Informed Trauma Therapy & Consultation for Individuals, Couples, & Therapists
My approach to therapy is rooted in the following treatment modalities:
- IFS (Internal Family Systems aka 'parts' work)
- EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing)
- Relational Theory
I work with individuals and couples interested in reaching a deeper understanding of themselves and their interactions with the rest of the world. In my practice, I provide a supportive and safe environment for individuals to be heard and understood; at the same time, I am active and engaging.
Individuals form ideas about themselves and the world through interactions with others. Psychological struggles often occur when individuals have experienced simple or complex trauma and/or a sense of disconnection or lack of attunement in their primary relationships. Once we have insight into our thoughts, feelings, somatic responses, and parts of ourselves that are often in conflict, we can begin to heal. The process of change many of us crave starts with compassion towards ourselves and acceptance of all of our parts.
I welcome the opportunity to walk with you on your journey of self-discovery.
