Offering individual IFS treatment for adults interested in doing deeper work for better healing.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) empowers people by connecting them to themselves, enabling very deep processing and healing through connection to their “core self,” that place inside every human being where qualities such as acceptance and compassion abide. Through this connection and the healing it enables, clients can become their own source of ongoing wellbeing, growth, and emotional regulation. That is true freedom!

I have IFS Institute Level l and Level ll training.

My availability is very limited.

A Bit About Me: My trauma therapist journey began many years ago, when I accompanied my anthropologist husband to the Venezuelan Llanos to live with a hunter-gatherer group, collecting field data. That unique and challenging experience brought me face to face with mortality and generated a deep appreciation for human resilience. The daily intersection of life and death for those people was a lesson in profound humility and courage, and trauma. After a 22-year career as freelance editor (nonfiction/science) for UGA press and other academic and commercial publishers, I earned my MSW and began helping people cope with the emotional and relational challenges of cancer and other serious/terminal disease processes. From that flowed a deep curiosity and compassion for the wounds of trauma, and a desire to work more closely with individuals to help them reduce suffering and gain or regain a sense of control and meaning in their lives.
