I found IFS first as a client. After completing my training as a psychotherapist, I was looking for more healing. I happened upon a wonderful IFS therapist who helped me find more peace inside than I knew was possible. I’m so grateful for finding her and for that relationship leading me to this healing modality.

I spent a few years waiting to hit jackpot in the IFSI lottery, and finally did. I went on from there to complete my level 2, IFIO, and PA for level 1 on staff. Along with formal trainings, I continue my professional development by engaging in monthly group and individual consultation to continue learning about my system and the way it shows up in the world.

As an LPCC, I also have a clinical private practice where I primarily support folx in their experiences with complex trauma, anxiety, relationships, and women’s health concerns. It’s been an absolute gift to find a model that gives me a way of sitting with people’s hearts that doesn’t burden my own and lead to burnout. I work often with other therapists and practitioners and love to tend to the parts of us that are longing so deeply to be heard.
