You can experience the embodied wisdom of your Whole Self.

IFS and integrative parts work coaching can help you get into relationship with your inner world of parts for post-traumatic growth, creative reclamation, and relational intimacy.

What is IFS and how can it help?

01

IFS is a holistic model and relational practice of being with your inner experience from a space of loving presence and Self-leadership.

02

IFS is based on the premise that through understanding, supporting, and integrating parts of your history and personality, you can heal and experience your whole self.

03

IFS can help you access your embodied wisdom, heal relational wounds, and express your hidden gifts to live a more connected, meaningful life.

"You can become your own healer -- the special person your vulnerable parts have been waiting for." -Richard Schwartz

Who is this for?

You’re someone who is inspired by the idea of learning about yourself and you believe that your story deserves the dignity of deep listening. You’ve been to therapy before and need something to continue that process of accountability and transformation, but feel like you’ve outgrown therapy. You’re in the post-traumatic growth stage of trauma recovery: you’re building resilience and integrating lessons, but your stuff still comes up (welcome).

You’re a couple who craves an intentional container to go deep together but nothing feels “wrong in the relationship enough for therapy.” Maybe you’re engaged and looking to explore your dynamic before you officialize your next step, or you’re a committed couple who has shared traumas from your history that you’ve never quite disentangled, but suspect are affecting you now. You care about your connection and want to immerse yourself in a container and template for transformative love.

You’re a creative who wants to clarify your gifts, discover more range in your expression, and integrate the parts of you that are showing up in your creative work. You’re experiencing some type of block in your creative process or something raw, ancient, and important has been unearthed in your work. You instinctively know and trust that what your work is revealing to you needs intentional holding beyond the tangible practice of your craft.

You’re a fellow helping professional who needs to fill the cup from which you pour into others. You want to clarify your purpose with a facilitator who deeply respects and understands the complexity of the work you do. You know that your relationship to you affects the relationships you show up for, and you want to deepen this inner relationship to serve others.

I’m Sarah, IFS therapist & parts work mentor.

My mission is to help you embody the wisdom of your Whole Self. I provide IFS coaching and parts work mentorship for post-traumatic growth, creative reclamation, and relational intimacy.

I have a Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and have specialized training in trauma-informed, embodied modalities including Internal Family Systems Therapy, Somatic Attachment Therapy, and Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy. I bring over a decade’s worth of experience with me in teaching embodied practice, facilitating inner work, and cultivating connected relational spaces where people feel safe to tell their stories and receive healing.

On a personal note, I am a wife, mother, writer, and fellow traveler on the path of addiction and trauma recovery. I bring years of dedication to my own embodied practices and inner work with me. I know what an honor it is to hold space for you because I intentionally seek out this same space for my own healing and becoming. Thank you for allowing me to steward to your process and witness your parts with the respect and compassion they deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Abstractly: Come as you are and begin where you are. I help you connect with your parts, speak for them, and unblend and unburden as needed. I explain the model in real time so no prior understanding is needed. Logistically: We meet for 50 minutes over Zoom. I have three packages: a single session, 3-session package, and 6-session packages. Prices are $225, $600, and $1,050, respectively. I currently do not have sliding scale openings. Apply below and I will be in touch within the week! I respond to applications every Monday and sometimes throughout the week when scheduling allows.

  • This container is a 1:1 or 1:2 coaching container. Coaching is a collaborative process that supports you in working with your parts and deepening into your healing journey, creative process, and relational connection. While similar to therapy in many key ways, one of the main differences is that this offering is not designed to treat symptoms associated with mental health diagnoses. This offering is designed to support your psychological process and provide experiential and psychoeducational learning with the IFS model and integrative parts work models.
