Let’s look together into the sources of your conflicting thoughts, feelings and beliefs. A fascinating journey lies ahead!
IFS (Internal Family Systems)
IFS is a method of understanding your thoughts, feelings and memories by developing your Self-Compassion and Inner Wisdom.
IFS offers hope and transformation
IFS allows you to access parts of you that will blossom with your attention. Because your emotional needs went unmet in the past, you fumble your way through meeting your needs yourself! With IFS, as a result of finding internal calm, clarity, and self-compassion you’ll find greater ease. Until now, layers of self-protection have served you well. While “getting on with life” strategies have enabled you to function quite well, no one can see your hidden conflict and overwhelm. Using the principles of IFS, I can help you to explore in a gentle way the hurting and neglected parts of you, the skeptical, strong and independent parts of you, and finally those healthy, hopeful and happy parts of you that you feared could never be yours.
Let IFS lead you gently toward emotional well-being and the more peaceful life you seek.
Are You Seeking Internal Harmony?
IFS Can Help You Resolve Inner Challenges and Enhance Your Life
Do you Struggle with conflicting emotions, thoughts, or even behaviors within yourself?
You want to take a new job for more career growth, but another part of you is terrified of leaving your current secure position. The inner conflict makes you feel stuck and indecisive. IFS helps you explore both parts—the ambitious one and the fearful one—so you can find balance and make a decision that honors both sides.
Do you face managing Chronic Anxiety or low level Depression?
You feel a constant sense of worry and restlessness, even when nothing specific seems to be wrong. Another part of you feels deep sadness and lacks energy. IFS helps you understand these anxious and depressed parts of yourself, uncovering why they are there and how to care for them in a way that brings relief.
Struggle with Self-Criticism or Low Self-Esteem?
You find yourself constantly thinking, "I’m not good enough" or "I always mess things up." IFS allows you to identify this critical part, understand its protective role, and begin shifting toward self-compassion, nurturing parts of yourself that have been hurt by these negative beliefs.
Do You Prioritize Personal Growth?
You feel like something is missing in your life and want to understand yourself better. Through IFS, you can explore the various parts of yourself that influence your motivations, desires, and fears, leading to more personal insight and a greater sense of internal harmony and fulfillment.
Are you experiencing Relationship Challenges?
In a romantic relationship, you notice that you often withdraw during conflict, even though another part of you desperately wants to connect and resolve the issue. IFS helps you explore the part of you that withdraws and the part that wants connection, leading to more effective communication and understanding with your partner. OR Through IFS, you can explore the part of you that feels the need to defend and the part that genuinely wants to connect, leading to healthier communication and stronger relationships.
In the IFS model developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz,…
Everyone has various "parts” that make up the internal system, including vulnerable, child-like aspects that may carry burdens from the past. These younger parts can become "stuck,” seemingly frozen in time, holding onto the emotions and beliefs from difficult or traumatic experiences, even as we grow into adulthood. This might manifest as intense emotional reactions that don’t seem proportional to the situation, habits that are hard to break , persistent negative self-talk, or challenges in relationships and specific triggering situations. By recognizing and developing a relationship with these younger parts, the process of healing and personal growth can begin.
