There’s more than one version of you—and they all make sense.

You’ve probably noticed it: part of you wants to rest, but another part says you haven’t earned it. One part wants closeness; another shuts down the moment things get too real. Parts work helps us understand these internal dynamics—not as flaws, but as protective responses that once helped you get through something hard.

I use IFS-informed parts work, drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS) while integrating other trauma-informed, relational approaches. That means honoring all parts of you—especially the ones that developed to protect you. Healing doesn’t mean getting rid of any part, but learning to understand them and shift the role they’ve had to play.

Why parts work?

Because most of us don’t just have one reaction to anything—especially if we’ve lived through trauma, identity-based harm, or complicated relationships. Parts work helps untangle that internal noise and move from self-blame to self-compassion.

I use parts work with clients who are:

• Feeling stuck in behaviors you know aren’t working, but can’t seem to change

• Caught in a cycle of shame, self-sabotage, or emotional shut down

• Struggling with inner conflict, especially around relationships, identity, or decision-making

What parts work might look like:

We’ll get curious about the different “parts” of you—how they show up, what they’re protecting, and what they need. Some sessions might focus on helping a younger part feel safe. Others might center around the part that’s always scanning for danger or trying to hold everything together. We move at your pace, with care and consent guiding the process.

Why I use IFS-informed parts work:

Because healing doesn’t come from fixing or fighting your internal world—it comes from getting to know it. Parts work helps my clients understand themselves in a way that feels compassionate, not pathologizing—and that shift can change everything.
