What is IFS-Informed Coaching™?
A compassionate path to clarity, inner trust, and aligned change.

This style tends to work best for clients who are ready for depth and honesty, not quick fixes.

It often fits people who:

• Think and feel in nuance and want space to explore more than one truth inside them

• Are self-reflective but still feel stuck, even after reading, thinking, or other support

• Notice patterns in relationships (work, romantic, family) where they override their own needs, people-please, or absorb others' emotions — and want to understand why

• Want clarity through awareness rather than being pushed into action too quickly

• Notice inner conflict (wanting change while also feeling resistant, cautious, or tired) and don’t want that tension rushed

• Are comfortable with slowness and silence when something real is unfolding

• Want to strengthen self-trust, so the answers come from within—not from outside direction

It may not be the best fit if you’re looking for:

• Clear advice, step-by-step solutions, or a highly directive style

• External pressure, motivation, or rigid structure

• Therapy or trauma-processing (IFS-informed coaching stays present-focused and future-oriented)

• A tightly defined agenda every session, with constant forward drive

At its core, this work is for people who sense that clarity comes from presence, not performance, and who are willing to stay with what’s true long enough for it to speak.

As an IFS-informed coach, I don’t interpret or analyze your inner system. I guide you as you get to know your inner landscape for yourself. We might gently notice which part is most present or active, maybe the achiever, the imposter, the inner critic, or the one who’s afraid.

Rather than override or push past what’s here, we’ll slow down and stay with the experience: how it shows up in your body, what it’s protecting, and what it’s afraid would happen if it didn’t do its job.

You don’t need any prior experience with IFS. I’ll guide you with respectful prompts tailored to your journey, and together we’ll follow what arises.

Sometimes we’ll use imagery or metaphor. Other times, we’ll simply track the felt sense and let clarity emerge without forcing it. While I hold the container, everything happens at your pace.

Clients often describe:

• A quieter mind and stronger inner trust

• Clearer connection to what really matters

• A more respectful relationship with themselves

• Movement that feels aligned, not forced

IFS-Informed Coaching is not therapy. We don’t unpack trauma or dwell in the past. We focus on awareness, self-leadership, and meaningful, tangible shifts in your outer life. If something arises that needs deeper therapeutic support, we’ll slow down, ground, and I’ll encourage you to work with a licensed clinician alongside coaching.

Map + Method + Self-Leadership

A focused entry-point for people who want to understand their inner patterns, relate to themselves with more steadiness, and make clearer choices—without being hijacked by anxiety, self-criticism, or shutdown.

What we do in four sessions

Together we’ll:

• Map what’s happening inside (your recurring patterns, protective strategies, and internal conflicts)

• Build a repeatable method for meeting activation in real time (so you can return to clarity and choice)

• Strengthen Self-leadership—the part of you that can stay present, curious, and grounded even when other parts are loud

What you can expect

This work is especially valuable if you're navigating a transition, noticing patterns in relationships that exhaust you, or feeling pulled between what you think you should do and what actually fits.

By the end of four sessions, most clients leave with:

• A clearer internal “map” and language for what they experience

• Greater ability to notice patterns earlier (before they take over)

• A practical way to work with common experiences like anxiety, inner criticism, avoidance, or indecision

• More internal cohesion—less fighting with themselves, more capacity to move forward

Format + investment

• 4 sessions (60 minutes each): $750

• Typically weekly or every other week

• Two check-ins via email in-between sessions

After the starter series

If you’d like to continue, ongoing sessions are available at $200 per 60-minute session.
