Individual Therapy

The key to managing emotions doesn’t always lie in understanding where they come from, although this can be helpful. Sometimes it is gaining the confidence  that they will not un-do you. We will work together to explore the feelings that have been coming up for you – to gain compassion towards them, feel them, and explore how your nervous system (and emotional system) was built throughout your life.

​

While we tailor our sessions to each individual, I find that Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a model that is flexible and relatable to most. IFS sees the different parts that make you up as an individual. For example…

​

• Part of me loves being a mom more than anything, but part of me is begging for a break.

• I feel so confident at work and home, but when I see my parents, I just shrink back and feel like a kid again.

Together, we can get to know all the parts of you – the bold parts, the hurt parts, the protective parts, the peaceful parts. Your parts make up a story, a way of living. Accessing these parts often leads to increased self-compassion and understanding.
