IFS Training: Richard Schwartz’s Internal Family Systems Institute provides training in IFS to practitioners through intensive programs called Level One, Level Two and Level Three. At any point a year or after taking a Level One training a practitioner can apply to become a Certified IFS Therapist with IFS-I by completing further learning, supervision and by having had their work reviewed and accepted by an approved IFS-I certifier. Derek Scott also provides training in IFS and anyone that has completed his Skills and Competencies Course is considered IFS Informed.
IFIO Training: Intimacy from The Inside Out (IFIO) is a form of couples therapy with its roots in IFS. Toni Herbine-Blank and the IFS-I provide a special Level Two (IFIO) that teaches this couples protocol. In addition Toni provides Advanced IFIO trainings.
I work with adults who feel stuck in patterns like body image struggles, emotional eating, or harsh self-criticism. These patterns often have deeper roots in earlier experiences and can feel difficult to shift on your own. Using an Internal Family Systems (IFS) approach alongside relational and psychodynamic therapy, I help clients get to know the different parts of themselves with curiosity rather than judgment. My work is trauma-informed, and I also draw on mindfulness and body-based approaches to support clients in slowing down and understanding what’s happening beneath the surface. Therapy with me is less about fixing and more about making sense of your experience, so you can begin to relate to yourself in a kinder, more grounded way and create lasting change.
