Internal Family Systems therapy in BOULDER & via telehealth across Colorado and North Carolina

Every part of you is welcome here.

Stop the internal war. Use Internal Family Systems (IFS) to find inner harmony and self-leadership.

We all have different "parts." You might have a part that is a high-achiever, a part that is a harsh inner critic, and a part that feels like a small, overwhelmed child. Often, these parts fight for control, leaving you feeling exhausted or "split."

In IFS, I don't treat these parts as "problems" to get rid of. I recognize that every part, even the ones that sabotage you, is actually trying to protect you in some way. I help you lead these parts from your "Self", the calm, curious, and compassionate core of who you truly are.

You are more than one thing

Move from Conflict to Harmony

When you start leading from your "Self," your internal world shifts:

The Critic Softens: Your inner critic doesn't have to scream when you learn how to listen to its underlying fears.
Protectors Step Back: The parts of you that use anger or numbing to protect you can finally relax because they trust you to handle your life.
Old Wounds Heal: We gently unburden the parts of you that have been carrying shame or "not enough-ness" for years.

Somatic IFS

I specialize in Somatic IFS. This means we don't just "talk to" your parts; we find where they live in your body. By combining IFS with my somatic background, we give your parts a physical place to land and release their burdens.

FAQS about IFS Therapy

It’s a way to describe how the mind naturally works. Most people find it’s the most accurate way to explain their experience (e.g., "Part of me wants this, but part of me is terrified”).
Not at all. Everyone has parts. IFS is a respected, standard model for understanding the healthy complexity of the human mind.
You don't need to be a visual person. We connect with parts through physical sensations, sudden emotions, or even just a quiet "knowing."
Instead of just talking about your problems, we talk to the parts of you that are struggling. This direct connection often leads to much faster shifts.
Yes. It is one of the most effective treatments for C-PTSD because it allows us to work with deep pain without re-traumatizing you.
