IFS Therapy online in Colorado
INTERNAL FAMILY SYSTEMS THERAPY
Helping you feel more confident & connected to yourself.
Get to know — and love — all parts of you.
Do you relate to this?
You can’t remember the last time you felt like yourself.
It’s like you’re going through the motions, putting on a happy face… but underneath the mask, you’re crumbling.
You’re tired of dealing with:
the critical inner voice that won’t shut up
paralyzing indecision, like your head and heart can’t agree
a deep shame that makes you want to hide from the world
bursts of rage & anger that explode out of you when you least expect it
grief that feels trapped and unable to flow
a sense of loneliness, even when you’re surrounded by people
the feeling that something just isn’t right, but you can’t pinpoint why
IFS therapy can help.
The basic idea of IFS is that you have a core Self, and you’re made up of different parts.
Sometimes those parts clash and conflict with each other — much like members of a family system.
That’s why you have parts that get angry, and other parts that judge you for being angry. Or parts that want connection, and other parts that want to be left alone.
Parts can show up as thoughts, emotions, body sensations, images, memories, or flashes of energy. Each part has its own story, needs, and perspective.
In IFS therapy, all parts of you are welcome.
We see your parts not as problems, but as valuable members of your inner ecosystem.
Just like a forest needs different types of plants and creatures, you have diverse parts that contribute to your overall health. IFS helps ensure that all parts work in harmony.
In our sessions, you’ll learn to listen to your parts, figure out where they come from and how they’re trying to help you (yes, even the critical, angry, and shame-filled parts), and teach them to collaborate with you.
The result?
You can become more confident in your own skin…
and feel like yourself again.
I’ll be here every step of the way, as your compassionate and steady guide.
Go from…
overwhelmed by conflicting emotions
stuck in unhealthy patterns
disconnected from your true self
feeling isolated & misunderstood
building walls around your heart
to….
feeling calmness & clarity
empowered to make choices that align with your values
trusting your intuition
building relationships where you feel safe to unmask & be yourself
Experience healing from the inside out.
Change your brain.
Change your life.
Our brains are like neuroplastic putty, constantly forming new connections. When we work with different parts in IFS, we’re creating new neural pathways — rewiring your brain toward a more harmonious and compassionate state of being.
Our IFS sessions are a creative and flowing exploration. I’ll help you navigate your inner world — listening to each part with curiosity, getting to know their role, story, and needs. It’ll feel like finally understanding a hidden language within yourself.
I can’t wait to be your guide on this transformative journey.

How will we work together?
There is flexibility in the way we do IFS — because therapy doesn’t have to look the same for everyone. We’ll tailor the approach to fit your needs and processing style.
-
Weekly IFS therapy provides a steady and consistent approach to healing. We’ll meet for 50-minute sessions every week, for 3+ months.
Weekly therapy is a great option if you enjoy ongoing support and consistent check-ins. This approach leads to transformative healing and a deeper understanding of yourself over time.
-
Intensive IFS therapy is an accelerated approach to healing, condensing the work into a shorter timeframe. We’ll meet for 3-hour sessions on an infrequent basis (one-time only, once a month, once a quarter, etc).
Due to the focused & extended time for processing, 1 intensive session is equivalent to multiple weekly sessions.
This approach is beneficial if you’re seeking faster relief from stress, trauma, anxiety, and burnout.
FAQs
-
IFS therapy can address a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges.
Beyond specific issues, IFS is a powerful framework for self-exploration and spiritual growth. It allows you to gain a deeper understanding of your inner world and develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself as a whole.
-
IFS therapy sessions feel collaborative and meaningful. I’ll help you explore your inner world, noticing different parts of yourself that may be showing up as emotions, sensations, thoughts, or behaviors.
I’ll guide you to connect with these parts with curiosity and compassion, rather than judgment. This helps you understand their underlying needs and intentions. Over time, you can learn to collaborate with these parts and access your core, balance Self.
After an IFS session, you may feel a sense of gratitude, relief, connection, calm, or clarity.
-
The science behind IFS is still developing, but research shows promise for its effectiveness.
Brain imaging studies suggest that IFS can reduce activity in the amygdala (fear center) and increase activity in the prefrontal cortex (involved in planning, decision-making, and impulse control). This may explain why IFS helps people feel calmer and more in control.
IFS taps into the brain’s ability to rewire itself, called neuroplasticity. When we experience trauma, our brain forms protective patterns to cope. IFS helps us access these patterns, stored as “parts” in our internal system. Through compassionate communication with these parts, we can reprocess the trauma memory. This process, called memory reconsolidation, allows us to weaken negative emotional connections and strengthen positive neural pathways.
-
Our sessions take place online, through a secure video-conferencing platform.
This allows you to experience IFS therapy from the comfort and privacy of your home, decreasing commute times and scheduling conflicts.
-
The number of IFS sessions you’ll need is unique to your situation. Some people find relief from specific concerns within 12-16 weekly sessions. Others stay on longer, using therapy as a consistent space for healing and introspection.
If a faster pace aligns with your preferences, we can explore intensive therapy options, where we condense the work into a shorter timeframe. Click HERE to learn more about intensives.
It’s important to find a pace that feels comfortable and allows you to fully integrate the positive changes from IFS therapy. To get a more specific idea of your potential timeframe, I encourage you to schedule a free consultation, where we can discuss your needs and goals.
-
Deciding between weekly and intensive IFS therapy depends on your needs and preferences. Here’s an overview of each approach.
Weekly IFS therapy:
gradual & consistent work
steady progress across multiple weeks/months
ideal for: those who seek ongoing support, thrive on routine, or enjoy a gradual pace
Intensive IFS therapy:
accelerated & focused work
significant progress in a short time period (multiple hours across 1-2 days)
quicker results & concentrated healing
ideal for: those with busy schedules who cannot commit to weekly therapy, but want to feel better soon; or those seeking to jumpstart their healing process
During your consultation, we’ll discuss what format of IFS is the best fit for you.
We can also explore a hybrid option, combining weekly sessions with occasional intensive sessions.
-
The first step is to schedule a 15-min consult. We’ll get to know each other and confirm if we’re a great fit to work together.
