ABoUT MY PRoCESS
WHAT To EXPECT
Change starts with a simple yet powerful realization: when you begin caring for your inner world, your external world transforms. Similar to tending a garden, we start by tending to the soil - establishing practices and rituals that fortify the foundation of our inner landscape. Then we weed - clearing away what no longer serves us, making room for new growth. Once there is space cleared within ourselves, we get clear on what seeds we want to plant & nourish - what are your seeds of intention that you want to cultivate in your life? Then by consistently watering and shedding light on what has been planted, we allow the seeds of intention to take root and flourish.
My practice is built around this philosophy, structured through an "8-Phase Journey" I've developed from my experience working with people over the last 14 years. It's not a straight line but more of an intertwined path where your personal goals and instincts lead the way. I'm here to support you, offering a secure and encouraging environment for your growth towards resilience and balance.

Moving through the eight phases of the journey is like going through the essential steps of nurturing a garden or observing the moon's phases - each phase has its time, its purpose, and its unique contribution to the whole cycle.

SESSIoN STRUCTURE
the structure
In our sessions, we’ll go beyond the confines of traditional talk therapy, finding transformation in the sacred space between words, the silent understandings & the synergy of your mind & body. Through a variation of practices, we’ll tap into your inner wisdom & use it as a guide to navigate your journey. Where you're at, what you need & where you aspire to be are ultimately leading this process.
My role is to provide a supportive container & safe space that encourages you towards fulfilling your greatest potential. With each meeting, I'll share practices, tools & insights that invite you to take charge of your healing & growth. Together, we'll map out a plan that’s all about making real, tangible changes that align with what you want to become & embody.
This is more than just a process; it's a partnership aimed at empowering you to build a life that feels balanced, fulfilling, & authentically yours.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIoNS
FAQ
WHAT IS INTERNAL FAMILY SYSTEMS?
The Internal Family Systems Model was developed by Richard Schwartz in the 1980s.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a therapeutic approach that identifies and addresses multiple sub-personalities or “parts” within each person’s mental system. Each part has its own viewpoints, feelings, opinions, behaviors, etc. Most parts fall into one of three categories - protectors, firefighters and exiles. The different parts that show up in one’s system are often in conflict with each other and with one’s core Self. The core Self is a concept within IFS that describes the confident, compassionate and curious whole person that is at the core of every individual.
IFS focuses on helping one identify the many different parts inside of them, get to know them and how they interact with the other parts, build a relationship to these parts from one’s whole Self, and help heal the parts that are holding onto burdens from the past.
