What is Internal Family Systems Therapy?

Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is a compassionate and effective approach to addressing emotional struggles. Developed in the 1980s, it’s based on the idea that everyone has different “parts” within them—some protect, some carry wounds, and others step in during times of stress.

The goal of IFS is to help you connect with your core Self, the calm and compassionate center of who you are. This connection brings balance and healing to your inner world. For instance, one client struggling with anxiety discovered that her “manager” part was constantly pushing her to overachieve. By working with her “Self”, she created a more peaceful relationship with that part, helping her to reduce her anxiety significantly.

If you’ve been feeling stuck or disconnected, IFS therapy offers a clear, actionable path forward.

Transform Your Inner World with IFS Therapy

Healing isn’t about fixing who you are; it’s about understanding and embracing every part of yourself. IFS therapy can help you:

  • Quiet the inner critic and reduce feelings of shame.
  • Heal emotional wounds from past trauma or difficult relationships.
  • Develop tools to manage anxiety and depression effectively.
  • Build healthier relationships by understanding your emotional patterns.
  • Discover a sense of peace that feels grounded and enduring.


Imagine walking through life with your internal “team” working together instead of pulling in different directions. I’ve seen clients transform how they relate to their inner world—and it’s a change that lasts.

How Does Internal Family Systems Therapy Work?

During our sessions, I’ll guide you in connecting with your Self—the calm, wise center of your being. This Self can lead the parts into working together harmoniously, reducing inner conflict and creating lasting emotional peace.

Think of it as bringing your inner “family” together for a long-overdue heart-to-heart.

IFS therapy starts with understanding the parts of yourself, each playing a unique role:

These parts aim to keep your life organized and avoid pain but can create stress or burnout.

Hidden parts that carry pain from past wounds, often leaving you feeling vulnerable or overwhelmed.

These parts act quickly to protect you from emotional distress, sometimes leading to impulsive behaviors.

Is IFS Therapy Right for You?

Internal Family Systems therapy is ideal for anyone ready to create meaningful change. You may benefit from IFS if you:

  • Feel stuck managing anxiety or depression.
  • Are processing trauma or emotional pain that hasn’t healed.
  • Want tools to build emotional resilience and reduce stress.
  • Seek a stronger connection with yourself and your inner world.


IFS therapy is a journey to rediscover your inner strength and empower your growth. No matter where you’re starting from, healing is possible.

In our work together, I’ll bring both my expertise and my dedication to helping you create the change you deserve. Let’s take this journey together, one step at a time.
