IFS (Internal Family Systems) is parts work. Parts work looks at the individual aspects of our identity and creates a relationship with these different parts. For example, rather than thinking of your anxiety as all of you, we think of it as a part of you that has a purpose and something to say if we can listen. Through this process, our parts tend to feel more relaxed when we can listen rather than avoid them. 

Somatic-Informed means that we also pay attention to what is showing up in your body as well do parts work.

While not always directly linked, many people with anxiety feel a strong pressure to keep others happy, often at the cost of their own well-being. This can create a cycle where you're constantly focused on others’ needs, leading to more stress and less time for yourself.

Many people with anxiety also experience perfectionistic tendencies. It can be difficult to let go of control and feel vulnerable. I help clients move from needing to get it right all the time to experiencing a greater sense of freedom.

Whether your anxiety connects to people-pleasing or perfectionism or something else, I will guide you in your journey to find more peace.

I offer walk-and-talk therapy at Golden Gardens year-round. Through gentle movement and guided reflection in the outdoors, you will feel more calm and support in exploring your internal world.
