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.

Level 3 AF-EMDR (Parnell Institute), IFS Therapist (L1, IFSI; Stepping Stone, IFSCA).
As a trauma therapist I believe in your ability to heal. I offer a deeply caring approach that integrates IFS, Attachment Focused-EMDR and Somatics with a focus on self-acceptance.
I work primarily with complex trauma, C-PTSD, relational trauma and self-discovery. This includes anxiety, perfectionism, infidelity, shame, difficult childhood experiences, attachment wounds, boundaries, sexual abuse, non-monogamy, gaslighting abuse, people pleasing, fawning, numbing, checking out, and many other symptoms associated with trauma or struggle.
I also work with those (including other therapists) who are interested in working with their parts using IFS.
For in-person sessions in Hamilton the therapy space has been designed to feel peaceful and kind to your nervous system.
