Help for the helpers.

“IFS is a loving way of relating internally (to your parts) and externally (to the people in your life), so in that sense, IFS is a life practice.”


― Dick Schwartz, No Bad Parts

When you heal our own pain it becomes the most precious gift you can offer the world. This is the Wounded Healer archetype, and it lives within you.

You chose to become a therapist, counselor, coach, or healer because you wanted to better understand and heal yourself. Just like your clients, you are a work in progress and you need a space to take off your counselor hat and be taken care of too.

The problem is, you are really good at what you do! You’re a highly competent and attuned healer, and finding someone who can offer you something that you can’t do for yourself can be a challenge. I get it.

You’re not interested in CBT, DBT, or even conventional talk therapy. Your ready to try something different, more somatic, integrative, transpersonal. You’ve dabbled in IFS (or maybe you’re already certified in it!) and want to do some deeper work with your parts and be more Self-Led in your sessions with clients and your life in general.

I didn’t intend to become a “therapists’ therapist.”

It just happened gradually over the years. By the time I transitioned from psychotherapy to coaching approximately 50% of my clients were mental health professionals. Whether you want to focus on improving aspects of your personal life, professional life, or both! I would love to provide support and guidance.

  • "Genevieve respected my clinical knowledge and encouraged me to go deeper."

    “Genevieve is knowledgable and insightful. She respected my own clinical knowledge and encouraged me to go deeper in my self-work, finding meaning and empathy for parts of myself that have been protected for a long time. She helped me notice patterns of thoughts & behaviors which stem from these parts without judgement.” -CK

  • "Genevieve is thoughtful and nonjudgmental."

    “She always holds in mind that we share a profession and there are many things I already know or have done my own reflections around. I never feel patronized or managed in our sessions. Her remarks and the way she holds space send the message, ‘I can witness and support you in your process while honoring the knowledge and experience you already have.’” -AP

  • "Genevieve has an authenticity about her that I haven’t witnessed in prior therapists."

    “She is a gifted IFS practitioner and stays focused on parts work, which I find extremely helpful. She would gently guide me back to it when my monkey mind had me jumping from topic to topic.”  -CK

  • "I love how, after years working together, our sessions still feel curious."

    “The comfortable, yet challenging atmosphere that comes with every session feels very unique. When I’m working through things in our sessions, I feel grounded in a way that is deeply trusting. Whether I’m crying or laughing or catastrophizing, or overanalyzing, I’m better able to access the deepest part of myself that feels calm and levelheaded.” -MG

  • "Genevieve helps move things out of the intellectual and into the lived experience."

    “Genevieve balances well the shared priorities of affirmation and accountability. I find that other therapists have had a harder time holding me accountable and doing so in ways that I can hear and integrate meaningfully. She does this very well and in ways that feel effective and like they move me forward in my work.” -AP

Our Journey

You can only take your clients as deep or as far as you’ve gone yourself.

1. Identifying your Desires and Vision.

What is your vision for your life, your work, your relationships? Where are you feeling unsatisfied, unfulfilled, uninspired, or held back? Where do you feel the tension of where you want to be in your personal and professional life with where are you currently? We will look at your birth chart from the perspective of Evolutionary Astrology and gain a sense of your soul’s intention and ideal work in the world/world service.

2. Getting to know your Soular System

We will get to know your internal Soular system and the brilliant and creative ways your protective parts have kept you safe and helped you get to where you are. As your protectors come to know and trust Self, the inherent leader/healer of your system, we will do the deeper work of releasing burdens of unprocessed emotion and limiting beliefs, clearing the path towards manifesting your desired vision for your life and work.

3. Integration &
Self-Leadership

By now you will have liberated parts from the roles they were forced into, allowing them to return to their intended roles; restored trust in the Self and Self-Leadership; and reharmonized your inner Soular system. The final stage of our work is about integrating these internal shifts into your external relationships with your loved ones, clients, colleagues, etc. and taking next steps towards manifesting your vision and stepping more fully into your Soul’s purpose.

Details

  • 1:1 Sessions are 60-minutes and and happen on Zoom.

  • During the discovery call I can help you determine whether weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly sessions makes the most sense.

  • This is IFS soul work, not psychotherapy. This means that while I bring my psychological skills and experience from many years of working as a licensed mental health counselor, I do not diagnose, treat, or cure mental illness.

My Transformational Tools

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) developed by Richard Schwartz, is an evidence-based, inherently spiritual model for integrative healing based on the belief that we all have a wise, compassionate core Self that knows how to heal and is the natural leader of our internal system. Additionally we all have inner parts, or sub-personalities, that contain valuable qualities. As we go through painful life experiences our parts can get forced into roles oriented around helping us survive and avoid further pain. The goals of IFS therapy are to:

    1. Liberate parts from the roles they’ve been forced into, so they can be who they’re designed to be.

    2. Restore trust in the Self and Self-leadership.

    3. Reharmonize the inner system.

    4. Become more Self-led in your interactions with the world.

    I have completed IFS Level 1 and Level 2 training and am a certified IFS therapist.

  • Evolutionary Astrology (EA), developed by Steven Forrest and Jeffrey Wolf Green, understands each person's birth chart as a map of the soul's evolution and a tool that can help us understand the lessons and themes we came here to engage with and how best to navigate these lessons. Based in the core spiritual belief that there is a larger, transpersonal meaning to our lives, EA can be used to help us live in harmony with our higher purpose and soul’s evolutionary intentions. I have complete training through the Forrest Center of Evolutionary Astrology (FCEA).

  • I use a approach to exploring dreams is rooted in the Carl Jung’s concepts of the collective unconscious, archetypes, the shadow, projection, etc. and influenced by the work of Jeremy Taylor, Tristy Taylor, Kelly Bulkeley, and others.

  • Yoga Nidra is an ancient sleep-based guided meditation practice that uses breath and body awareness techniques to enter a state of profound relaxation and union with all of life.

    Yoga nidra meditation can be a way of helping parts to relax, increasing access to Self-energy and opening a connection to universal Self/Source.

    I have advanced certification in the I AM (Integrative Amrit Method) of Yoga Nidra and have trained directly with Amrit Desai and Kamini Desai.
