My work is informed by:

Internal Family Systems (IFS) / Parts work
The Mind is Naturally Multiple: IFS works through a lens that the mind isn't a single unit but a system of various parts.
Parts as Subpersonalities: These are distinct internal aspects of the self, like a "family" within.
Burdens: Parts carry burdens – extreme beliefs, emotions, or memories from past traumas – that cause them to get stuck in extreme roles.
The Self: Everyone has a core "Self" that is wise, compassionate, and capable of leading the internal system.
Personal Note:
This work is not just professional for me—it’s personal. I’ve witnessed the ways trauma can be passed down, and how powerful it is when we interrupt that cycle.
It’s an honor to support others on their path home to themselves.
