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 provide meaningful support to those seeking positive change, deeper self-understanding, and a desire to live more fully and authentically, in connection with themselves and others. Many of my clients are adults and young couples seeking a calm, relational space to explore life transitions, relationship challenges, meaning, and the influence of early relationships. I am a gentle and curious therapist. I offer a steady, grounded presence in the work, without pressure or an agenda. I bring compassion, honesty, and a quality of stubbornness that I hope is experienced as an unfaltering commitment to your wellbeing and growth.
My approach is relational, calm, and collaborative. I am trained in Internal Family Systems for individuals and couples, trauma-informed therapy, psychedelic integration, and I draw on Humanistic and Somatic approaches to offer integrative therapy that is shaped around each client. I bring over 10 years of experience working in universities as an educator, mediator, and career coach.
We will take time to connect, understand who you are, and be curious about the experiences that brought you here. Know that I value safety, non-judgment, and the courage it takes to be open with another. That is why therapy with me moves at the pace of trust. I invite you to connect for a complimentary call to explore what therapy could look like together.
