Cultivating compassion, hope and healing for over 24 years
Welcome to opportunities for integrating the transformational practice of Internal Family Systems!
IFS “accidentally” discovered me in 2008, ten years into my career as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I was burned out, discouraged and isolated. This transformational framework changed my life and kept me in the field 14 years later with more energy and hope than I ever could have imagined.
IFS teaches us how we relate to ourselves and one another from a place of inclusion, compassion and curiosity. I am motivated to connect and support IFS Professionals and provide a direct experience of this powerful framework.
I am grateful and fortunate that my IFS foundation was built working with founder, Dr. Richard Schwartz, individually for a year in 2008. The past two summers I have assisted him for a weeklong training at the Cape Cod Institute. I have maintained regular IFS therapy and supervision with two IFS Lead Trainers since 2009 and been IFS Certified since 2010. We can’t take our clients farther than we’ve gone ourselves. I’m committed to doing my work and supporting other Healers doing theirs.
My IFS Consultation Groups connect IFS professionals, reduce burnout and isolation and help you be more Self-led, energized and effective. I help clinicians deepen and embody Self leadership so they can be more present for clients in a sustainable, life-giving way. Imagine that for a moment… It really is possible!

“Laura is warm, open and gentle and committed to encouraging you in your practice. She offers the wisdom of her experience of IFS therapy as well as inviting this from us as participants. She sensitively facilitates you to consider your inner process. This invites a flourishing of the clarity and compassion of Self-leadership within the therapeutic relationship.”

“Laura has so much Self energy and is a great parts detector! She also does a wonderful job of respectfully and confidently holding the structure and container of the consultation group. I felt safe every step of the way. She is most definitely a skilled IFS therapist and consultant.” Robin Barre, PhD, LMHC
“The consolidation and clarification of the vast amount of material I’ve been exposed to at the Cape Cod Institute and Online Circle— was the greatest value of the consultation group for me–along with meeting some amazing therapists and getting the benefit of Laura’s experience with and understanding of the model as well. I passed the OC CE test on the first try, all 250 questions of it, with a score of 95%. I’m very grateful.” Amy Klatzkin, LMFT, San Francisco, CA
Laura’s IFS facilitation is a treasure to parts that are just desperate to be loved. She is a hope merchant for hopeless parts indeed.
“I would like others to know how safe, grounded, enthusiastic, experienced, and helpful Laura is, how rewarding and engaging these group consults are, and what a wonderful resource they are to practice, learn, and gain support.”
