Psychotherapy
IFS
(Internal Family Systems)
Developed by Richard Schwartz, Ph.D, in the 1980s, IFS therapy is a deeply respectful and nonjudgmental approach that often leads to increased self-acceptance, self-awareness, and self-compassion as well as deep healing and change.
​
It’s rooted in the concept that we all have different parts – or aspects of our personality – that are expressed through our feelings, thoughts, body sensations, and beliefs. Sometimes, these parts are at odds with one another, thus causing emotions and behaviors that are confusing and frustrating.
​
Through IFS, we work to understand and connect with these parts, giving them space to be heard and supported.
​
This process can help you make sense of your inner experiences, reduce internal conflict, and open the door to meaningful change.

IFIO -Couples Therapy-
IFIO stands for Intimacy from the Inside Out, and it is a couples therapy approach grounded in the belief that healthy intimacy is born from self-awareness and internal healing.
​
Building upon IFS therapy—where we understand the psyche as made up of “parts” of ourselves (like protectors, managers, exiles, and the core Self)—
​
IFIO brings this framework into the relational space between two people.
​
Rather than simply resolving surface-level conflicts, IFIO helps couples:
​
-
Understand how past wounds and protective strategies shape their reactions
-
Develop compassion for themselves and their partner
-
Communicate from a grounded, Self-led place rather than from reactivity
-
Restore emotional safety and trust in the relationship

Gestalt
The Gestalt approach has the basic premise that life happens in the present—not in the past or the future.
​
Through living in the present we are able to take responsibility for our responses and actions. To be fully present in the here and now offers us more excitement, energy, and courage to live life directly.

In the session, I do not follow specific guidelines, I use creative approaches, informed by my theatrical, therapeutic and movement background. What is consistent is the emphasis on direct contact, direct experience and experimentation.
