After working in Medicine for over 15 years -and 12 of them as a palliative medicine specialist (care for the symptoms of advanced illness)- I have become deeply aware of our need to heal. 

​

I am convinced that one of the most powerful ways in which we can heal is through fostering internal awareness and compassion.  

​

In IFS (Internal Family Systems Therapy), I have found the only therapeutic model -in the medical and psychotherapeutic worlds- that systematically forges our ability to become more compassionate inwardly.

​

By blending my symptom care medical expertise with IFS I can provide professional level counseling, nuanced gentle prescribing of proper medicines and serve as a bridge between your medical/physical ailment and your psycho-spiritual wellbeing. 
 

IFS is an evidence based* form of psychotherapy that works through understanding and unlocking our internal worlds.

​

The term family in IFS does not refer to bringing your relatives to a session, rather it is meant to explain that in your psyche there are a number of players each with a distinct identity, personality, role and a need to be understood and validated -just like a family member.
