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 have a background of working as an RN for 10+ years, and then completed a masters to become a registered psychotherapist. I have an interest in women's health and wellness, and a focus on trauma, healing attachment wounds, shame, depression, and anxiety. I enjoy bringing a relationship approach to IFS, as well as an understanding of nervous system regulation, using somatic and polyvagal theories.
