IFS therapy in Santa Monica, CA
You’ve tried everything you can think of to feel better, but nothing’s sticking.
Maybe you’ve done therapy before, learned tools, and understood the why—but you still want to go deeper and understand yourself more. Part of you wants to move forward, while another part holds you back. One voice says “you’re fine,” while another still feels heavy, anxious, or unseen. IFS therapy helps you make sense of these inner dynamics. Instead of trying to change or silence parts of yourself, you’ll learn to listen to them with curiosity—and discover the calm, grounded Self that can lead with clarity and compassion.
But you’re still feeling…
Pulled in different directions by competing parts of yourself.
Ready to deepen your healing, not just manage your symptoms.
Aware of your patterns but unsure how to shift them.
IFS therapy helps you connect with your inner world in a new way.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an evidence-based, experiential approach that views the mind as made up of many “parts,” each with its own perspective, emotions, and role. Some parts work hard to keep you safe or in control, while others carry pain, fear, or shame from past experiences.
Through IFS, we bring compassion and understanding to these parts so they no longer need to protect you through overwhelm, self-criticism, or withdrawal. As trust grows within your internal system, you reconnect with your Self—the calm, wise, and grounded core of who you are.
-
Together, we’ll explore your inner landscape with curiosity instead of judgment. You’ll begin to notice the parts of you that take over in moments of stress and the younger, tender parts they’re trying to protect.
-
Our sessions are collaborative and paced to feel safe. I’ll help you stay connected to your Self as you gently meet your inner world with compassion and awareness.
-
When your internal world feels more connected, you experience greater balance, confidence, and ease. You’ll respond to life’s challenges with understanding instead of reactivity—and begin to feel at home within yourself.
At the end of the day, I want you to know:
You are not broken or in need of fixing. Every part of you has a story and a purpose.
When you meet yourself with curiosity and care, healing naturally unfolds.
