You are the answer.

Embrace every part of yourself.

With social media, podcasts, books, courses, retreats, and more, there is no shortage of tools and resources to accumulate. But what happens after we gather all the education, participate in all the courses, listen to all the podcasts, and attend all the retreats? How do we feel when we get back home and return to our every day life? For some, these things do provide a life changing shift. Many others find themselves still being activated and behaving in the same old ways without knowing why. We employ many external fixes in hopes that our internal world will feel better. And when those fixes don’t work, we often find ourselves feeling discouraged and hopeless. We turn to various coping strategies in search of relief from the feelings of despair, but end up still feeling stuck or even trapped in a cycle we can’t seem to escape.

Before anything can actually change within us, we must first notice and curiously observe our behaviors-not just our thoughts, but what we actually do-how we actually live each day.

We may notice some things we would rather not accept about ourselves, so we quickly move on and look for something else to focus on. The thing is, those parts we would rather not accept are still there. And the longer we keep looking past them, the more likely they are to become the precise parts actually driving our daily living.

We often operate from patterns and belief systems developed without our conscious knowing.

This can lead to behaviors that cause heaviness and ultimately feeling stuck or trapped in a certain feeling, pattern, or behavior. Through a unique combination of Integrative Processing Technique (IPT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), a safe space can be created to find and gently explore these parts with compassion and curiosity. This process of connection with all the parts provides a valuable and insightful opportunity for full self-acceptance and ultimately an invitation for a more integrated and loving life experience.

Inviting in a level of support provides a landing place for thoughts and feelings while inviting fresh perspectives, often resulting in actual, long lasting change and integration.
