Consultation for IFS
Level 1-Trained Therapists
& Practitioners

I am a Lead Trainer with the IFS Institute and an Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist and Approved IFS Consultant. I was formally trained in the model in 2004 when I was a graduate student, so IFS has informed my entire clinical career.  I also have additional training in Somatics, Attachment Theory and Interpersonal Neurobiology.  I am Level 3 trained in IFS and have served as a Program Assistant for several Level 1 and Level 2 trainings and in early 2022, I have joined the IFS training staff. Students have consistently praised my warm, grounded, confident, and encouraging manner.  

I offer both individual and group consultation for IFS therapists who are in or have completed a Level 1 training.  I am a Certified IFS Consultant and Supervisor, so consultation hours with me  will count towards IFS certification.

In my therapy practice, I work primarily with clients who are BIPOC or LGBTQIA++ and often hold the intersection of both identities and more.  I bring a social and racial justice lens to all of my work and I am particularly interested in and experienced with examining how a client’s system is impacted by external systems of oppression, cultural and legacy burdens, and exploring power dynamics in and out of the therapy room.  

During consultation meetings, I offer:

• Consultation around specific cases,

• Review of recorded sessions,

• Didactic teaching of elements of using the model,

• Roleplay and demos,

• Exploration of therapists’ parts activated during their work with clients.

At this time, I welcome individuals for consultation, and also welcome pre-formed groups who would like to do a series of consultation meetings together.  In the future, I plan to offer specific groups for BIPOC and/or Queer clinicians/practitioners and for social justice oriented clinicians/practitioners of any race.
