Therapy

Are you struggling with difficult times or past traumas? Seeking therapy can be a great way to work through these challenges and move forward. It can also be helpful during life transitions or when feeling stuck. Often, we repeat patterns in our lives and relationships without realizing it. As your guide, I'll help you uncover these patterns and understand why they developed so you can manage your life and make happier choices.

Therapy can help you to:

• Understand your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Therapy can help you identify the patterns of thinking and behaving contributing to your mental health challenges. Once you understand these patterns, you can start to make changes.
• Develop coping skills. Therapy can teach you coping skills to help you manage stress, anxiety, and other challenging emotions. These skills can help you to feel more in control of your life and to reduce your symptoms.
• Build self-esteem. Therapy can help you to develop a more positive sense of self-worth. You can learn to accept yourself for who you are and to set realistic expectations for yourself.
• Improve your relationships. Therapy can help you to improve your communication skills and to develop healthier relationships with your loved ones. You can learn how to constructively express your needs and feelings and set boundaries with others.
• Reduce symptoms of mental health conditions. Therapy can be an effective treatment for various mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Therapy can help to reduce the severity of your symptoms and to improve your quality of life.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an empowering, evidence-based model of psychotherapy. This non-pathologizing model sees us as having a core “Self” along with parts of our personality that may appear as thoughts, beliefs, body sensations, feelings, memories, or images. By increasing our connection to our “Self” and our “Parts,” we can identify and heal trauma, limiting burdens from unwanted beliefs and behaviors. This transformative shift in how you relate to and understand yourself offers greater clarity, curiosity, compassion, courage, calm, confidence, creativity, and connectedness internally and with the world around you.

Benefits of IFS therapy:

• It is a non-pathologizing approach that views all parts of the personality as having a positive intention.
• It is a collaborative approach that involves the client as a co-therapist.
• It is a strengths-based approach that focuses on the client's innate wisdom and ability to heal.
• It is a practical approach that can be used to address a wide range of issues.
