I love to teach about Internal Family Systems, lead IFS meditations, read and review IFS books, share personal and detailed examples of her own parts work, explain common mental health "pathologies" from an IFS Lens, integrate IFS with other compatible modalities (like Nonviolent Communication), and answer all your burning questions about IFS, so that you feel inspired and empowered to explore your own parts, create healing connections inside and out, and increasingly enjoy a Self-led life. You are not alone, and you always make sense! All parts are welcome here.

These comics inspired by the Internal Family Systems therapy model (or IFS) began as something I drew for myself in my sketchbook as a way to record and help integrate the work I’d done in sessions with my therapist.

We all struggle, at one time or another, with emotions and relationships and just with being human. Learning the IFS model and applying it to my inner life has helped me so much. I’m happy in some small way to share my own experience with the process and perhaps shed light on what happens during an IFS session.

After two years of working with my parts and gaining repeated access to my Self, my inner system is so much calmer, more self-compassionate and confident. This method has been a way for me to understand myself really well and I feel I’ve got the ability now to let my Self lead me through the storms of life.

In the words of Louisa May Alcott: I am not afraid of stormsforI am learning how to sail my ship.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
