What to Expect

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a transformative and evidence-supported form of parts-work. IFS can be hugely supportive for everything from complex trauma to grief to “why do I keep engaging in patterns that aren’t working for me?” The process of IFS encourages self-compassion and integration of Self.

❋ My Approach

I blend IFS and Gestalt parts-work techniques. This approach offers a gentle and effective way of caring for the parts of ourselves that can become fragmented through complex trauma and challenges— particularly the protective or vulnerable parts that emerge from pain, but may not serve us as we grow and evolve.

❋ Indigenous Roots of Parts-Work

Parts-work originated in indigenous and animist traditions that embrace the multiplicity of human experience . IFS is one application of parts-work, but it is far from the first.
