What does it mean to be trauma informed?
Trauma-informed care is care in which mental healthcare providers engage with a client in a manner that allows for the implementation of an effective treatment process without retraumatization. Trauma-informed care shows an understanding that the trauma people experience in the past can negatively impact their current life.
What is Internal Family Systems (IFS) ?
IFS is a transformative, evidence-based psychotherapy that helps people heal by accessing and loving their protective and wounded inner parts. We believe the mind is naturally multiple and that is a good thing. Just like members of a family, inner parts are forced from their valuable states into extreme roles within us. We also all have a core Self.Self is in everyone. It can’t be damaged. It knows how to heal.
By helping people first access their Self and, from that core, come to understand and heal their parts, IFS creates inner and outer connectedness. Read more about the aspects of the Evolution of the IFS model.
Can I book online?
Not at this time. Please send me a text or email. If calling, please leave a voicemail.
I always get back to potential clients within 24 hours, even if I am unable to take new clients.
What is PREPARE/ENRICH?
It is an assessment taken by couples to assesses both strengths and growth areas, allowing a more balanced approach, helping couples become aware of potential issues and remembering their strengths. Once the process is started, it can take 8–10 sessions to complete. If you are interested in taking this assessment, let me know!
