Trauma therapy

In order to help treat trauma on any level of intensity, I use Internal Family Systems (IFS), sometimes referred to as Parts Work, to help you feel finally unburdened and heal traumatized parts of you that have felt stuck for a very long time.

What is IFS?

  • Different from talk therapy — a more somatic and meditative way of doing therapy where I, your therapist, help you connect to your inner world, parts inside of you, in a way that maybe you aren’t used to

  • Get to know that all parts of you have good intentions, even the ones that derail you

  • Learn how parts of you are merely there to protect you from something more vulnerable or fragile

  • Rebuild and regain trust between you and these parts of you (as if they are your family members, younger versions of yourself, etc)

  • You can finally come back in as the all-knowing, compassionate, adult parent your inner child/children always wanted and needed in order to help heal
