IFS therapy has been personally transformative for me, and it's a modality I'm proud to offer. It works by fostering curiosity and self-awareness, helping you release limiting patterns, process past wounds, and build real emotional resilience.
Internal Family Systems is an evidence-based psychotherapy model that views the mind as naturally made up of multiple 'parts' — each with its own perspective, feelings, and role. Some parts protect us from pain, others carry the weight of past experiences, and at the core is your calm, compassionate Self. IFS helps you access that Self and heal the parts that are stuck in old patterns.
It's especially powerful for trauma, anxiety, depression, and that persistent sense of inner conflict or disconnection. Rather than pathologizing your experience, IFS meets every part of you with curiosity and compassion. The result is deep, lasting change — not just symptom management.
As a naturopathic doctor, I integrate IFS with my understanding of how emotional patterns affect physical health. Chronic stress, unresolved trauma, and suppressed emotions can drive inflammation, hormonal imbalances, and immune dysfunction. Addressing the mind-body connection is often the missing piece in treatment.

Breathwork
Conscious connected breathing is a somatic therapy that uses intentional, rhythmic breathing to release stored tension, regulate the nervous system, and process emotions held deep in the body. If you're looking for nervous system regulation or a deeper sense of presence, this practice is remarkably powerful.
Traditional Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese Medicine offers something Western approaches often miss: a framework for understanding the body as a connected whole. Acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, and Gua Sha complement my other modalities and often bring relief when nothing else has.

Clinical nutrition addresses nutrient deficiencies, optimizes digestion, and builds a plan around your life. Whether you're managing a chronic condition, working through gut issues, or just want to feel better day-to-day, we'll focus on whole foods, targeted supplementation, and realistic lifestyle shifts.
