“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
As an Approved IFS Consultant for Certification and AAMFT Supervisor, Laura has worked with over 100 professionals in her groups the past 8 years. Laura leads international online IFS Consultation Groups and in-person IFS workshops and retreats. As a lifelong athlete and former professional road cyclist, IFS helped carry Laura through a decade recovering from a traumatic brain injury and an ongoing robust case of rheumatoid arthritis. Laura replenishes year-round adventuring in nature; her Managers most fully relax as far off the grid as possible. Students appreciate Laura’s clear teaching, the connection and safety she creates and her Playfulness. Laura has lived throughout the US, Canada, Germany and now calls Eastern Washington home, on native Salish land.
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. I now have the privilege of serving as his Faculty Assistant annually for a week each summer. 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 Healers 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’s IFS facilitation is a treasure to parts that are just desperate to be loved. She is a hope merchant for hopeless parts indeed.
