Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy Services at Tranquil...Ahhh

At Tranquil...Ahhh, we specialize in providing compassionate and evidence-based psychotherapy for individuals, children, couples, and families. Rooted in the transformative principles of Internal Family Systems (IFS), our services are designed to help you foster deeper connections with yourself and those around you. As a Level 2 IFS-trained therapist with advanced training in Intimacy From the Inside Out (IFIO), the couples-focused application of IFS, I bring a unique approach to relational healing and personal growth.

Services Offered

Individual Therapy

Discover the healing power of self-compassion and gain insights into your internal world. IFS therapy helps individuals connect with and understand their "parts," uncovering the root causes of anxiety, depression, trauma, and life challenges. Sessions create a safe space for healing and transformation.

Child Therapy

Children often experience emotional struggles that can be difficult to express.

Children often face emotional and behavioral challenges that they may not have the words to express. At Tranquil...Ahhh, I provide a safe, nurturing, and creative environment where children can explore their feelings and experiences through developmentally appropriate methods.

As a therapist trained in Play Therapy and Sandtray Therapy, I integrate these approaches with Internal Family Systems (IFS) principles to help children process their emotions, build resilience, and navigate life’s challenges.

Play Therapy: Through play, children can express their inner world in a way that feels natural and engaging to them. Play therapy allows children to process difficult emotions, resolve conflicts, and learn new coping skills in a non-threatening and fun environment.
Sandtray Therapy: Using miniature objects and a tray of sand, children create scenes that reflect their inner experiences. This modality helps children externalize their thoughts and feelings, giving them a sense of control and clarity as they explore complex emotions and situations.
IFS for Children: By gently introducing the concept of "parts" in an age-appropriate way, children can begin to understand and communicate their feelings. For example, a child might explore a part of them that feels "angry" or "worried" through play or storytelling, fostering self-awareness and self-compassion.

How It Helps

Children who engage in therapy often:

Improve emotional regulation and communication.
Develop healthier coping strategies for stress and change.
Build confidence and self-esteem.
Strengthen their ability to navigate relationships with peers and family members.

My approach is collaborative, involving parents and caregivers as part of the process to ensure that support extends beyond the therapy room. Together, we’ll create a space where your child feels safe, understood, and empowered to thrive.

Couples Therapy

Through the lens of Intimacy From the Inside Out (IFIO), couples therapy focuses on enhancing emotional intimacy and communication. Whether you’re working through conflict, trust issues, or seeking deeper connection, this approach helps couples identify and heal patterns that hinder closeness while fostering mutual understanding and respect.

Family Therapy

Families are dynamic systems where every member plays an important role. Using IFS principles, I support families in navigating conflicts, improving communication, and creating a harmonious environment where every voice feels heard and valued.

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) and IFS Integration

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a therapeutic approach that combines the use of ketamine, a safe and effective medication, with psychotherapy to support healing and transformation. Ketamine has been shown to help alleviate symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mental health challenges by creating a state of expanded awareness, reducing resistance, and facilitating new perspectives on old patterns of thought and behavior.

When integrated with Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, KAP becomes a powerful tool for accessing and working with your inner system of parts. The unique qualities of ketamine—such as its ability to soften the defenses of protective parts and open the mind to new possibilities—allow for deeper connections with parts that may feel stuck, burdened, or wounded.

How KAP Works with IFS

Facilitating Access to Parts: Ketamine can quiet the critical or skeptical voices in your mind, allowing you to more easily access parts of yourself that may typically feel too vulnerable to surface during traditional talk therapy.
Deepening Self-Compassion: The state of openness and curiosity facilitated by ketamine often helps clients connect with their Self—the compassionate, curious, and wise core that has the ability to heal and lead. This makes it easier to approach wounded or protective parts with understanding and care.
Releasing Burdens: In the safe and supportive environment of KAP, parts carrying heavy emotional burdens—such as fear, shame, or grief—may feel ready to let go of these weights, allowing for lasting relief and transformation.
Enhancing Integration: Following a KAP session, IFS can be used to integrate the insights, emotions, and experiences uncovered during the journey. This ensures that the healing you experience during the session becomes a lasting part of your everyday life.

What to Expect

Preparation: Before the ketamine session, we’ll use IFS to map out your internal system, identify which parts may benefit most from the experience, and set intentions for the session.
The Journey: During the ketamine session, you’ll enter a state of expanded consciousness while remaining aware and connected. IFS principles guide the session to ensure that your parts feel safe and supported throughout.
Integration: After the session, we’ll process your experience using IFS, helping you understand and incorporate what you’ve learned into your daily life. This step is key to creating meaningful and sustainable change.

Why Consider KAP with IFS?

If you’ve been feeling stuck, resistant, or disconnected from your inner healing process, KAP with IFS can offer a fresh perspective and open new doors. It’s especially beneficial for those who:

Struggle with deep emotional pain or trauma that feels inaccessible.
Experience resistance from protective parts that make progress in therapy feel slow.
Want to strengthen their connection to their Self and inner system for lasting healing.

With Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy and IFS, you don’t just treat symptoms—you build a deeper relationship with yourself, unlocking the capacity for growth, healing, and transformation. Together, we’ll create a space where all your parts feel seen, heard, and ready to move forward.
