IFS and Brainspotting gently allow us to access parts of a person that hold trauma and unprocessed emotional pain. This work helps create new pathways in the brain, supporting clients in responding to trauma triggers with internal support, reducing overwhelm, and gradually building emotional clarity, resilience, and a sense of inner safety.

I recently completed the 6-month IFS Circle training through the IFS institute. I am continuously learning more, as I wait for a slot in a Level 1 training.

I am Level 1 trained in Internal Family Systems. This approach explores the parts of a person that carry emotions, beliefs, protective strategies, and sometimes deep emotional pain. Together we notice how these parts show up and learn to respond with curiosity and care, helping clients develop self-compassion, clarity, and trust in their own inner wisdom.

I am Phase 2 trained in Brainspotting, a body and mindfulness-focused approach that uses eye positions and the visual field to connect with parts of the brain holding unprocessed trauma and emotions. We use the body to guide and support the process, helping clients release tension, gain emotional clarity, and build self-compassion.

IFS and Brainspotting help explore parts of a person that influence relational patterns and attachment wounds. Clients learn to respond to themselves and others with more flexibility, curiosity, and care. This work also supports practicing practical skills, including assertive and nonviolent communication, while building self-compassion and healthier, more authentic connections.

IFS and Brainspotting help clients build relationships with parts that carry self-criticism, shame, or perfectionistic pressures. Developing a loving relationship with oneself supports self-compassion, inner validation, and resilience, allowing more flexibility, empowered decision-making, and healthier responses than relying on protective parts and ineffective self-talk.
