“IFS is method that was totally new to me as of this year, and is strikingly effective at supporting my ability to get the emotional support I need without needing to look outside of myself. If I am struggling with a particular emotion, whether it's anxiety, frustration, stuckness or any of the others that can be so tough, IFS has opened a brand new door for how to work with it. And this is not just about making the feelings stop, but about healing them so that I can live more at ease, while not rejecting any part of myself. It's a total paradigm shift from how I used to approach difficulty, a way of integrating all pieces of me in a healthy, wholesome way. 

Steph is incredibly skilled at creating a safe space for these sessions. Her infinite compassion and capacity to see the good in me, in each client, supports me completely as I dive deep into my own challenges, which makes her sessions consistently powerful. Each session then can build in the last one's progress, and I can really see the positive, iterative effect of my time with her.”

“I came to Steph for career coaching because I felt frustrated and lost, working a job where I was unappreciated and not knowing how to put my disparate skills and experiences together in a cohesive direction. Steph has a lot of tools in her toolbox. She pays attention to things, has really useful frameworks to help you change your thinking about yourself. I had a very loud “Inner Critic” who needed to be put in her place. Steph provided a number of techniques through which I could do that productively. None of the productive hard work would be possible without Steph also being incredibly kind, wise, insightful, and supportive, with a wonderful knack for language and phrasing that makes all the necessary mental shifting possible. More than career coaching, it’s about life and your entire self -- working with Steph is like a rejuvenating spa experience for your entire being, how to be in this world and how to offer up what you bring to it without losing your integrity and soul.”

“Steph is such an incredible coach and human. I’ve worked with many coaches and her natural kindness, intuition, and skills are leagues above others. Our IFS sessions were incredibly healing and fruitful especially during the chaos of the pandemic. IFS allowed me to go beneath the “story” and dig deeper into what was running me and the rumination loops. The container she holds is the perfect balance of strong and soft, leaving me to walk away from sessions with deep clarity.”

“Working with Steph has been amazing.  Her passion and skill for IFS is very apparent.  She is so skilled at holding a strong, safe container for exploration.  Because I found it easy to trust her, I was willing to explore very vulnerable parts of myself.

Through our IFS sessions, I have learned to relate to different parts of myself in new ways.  I have been able to extend compassion to these parts, and also to understand why they might be functioning in the ways they do.  Although I have been in therapy for many years, IFS with Steph helped me relate to my parts in a very new and empowering way.  I would recommend IFS to a friend because it can offer a unique way of relating to our parts that invites compassion and understanding.”
