Join us for an Introduction to Internal Family Systems (IFS) on July 19th from 2pm to 6pm EST.

I'm offering a 4-hour Intro to IFS training on Sunday, July 19th, 2-6pm EST

I remember what it was like being new to IFS. I was curious, a little intimidated, and not really sure where to start. This training is what I wish I'd had; enough teaching to actually understand the basic map (parts, Self, how it all fits together), plus a full hour of practicing with each other so it's not just concepts in your head.

If you've been curious about IFS but haven't found the right entry point yet, this is meant for exactly that. The training will be ONLINE and LIVE!

I am Level 2 trained through the IFS Institute and am on the certification track. I use IFS in my work daily and have been using the model for years!

Details and registration for the training in the comments!

Parents! Join us this Sunday for a workshop!

We're hosting an in-person parenting strategies workshop this Sunday May 31st for parents of teens and tweens. It came from a pretty simple place, as a therapist I kept hearing the same things from parents in my practice and honestly in my own life: this stage is a lot, and it can feel really lonely sometimes.

The idea is to give parents a chance to come together, pick up some practical tools around things like communication, anxiety, and parenting styles, and just... be in a room with other people who get it.

Families will get a series of short video to watch beforehand (no pressure to do so but you will have access to them), and then we gather for a Q&A and some real conversation.

Date: 31 May 2026
Time: 4pm (workshop will take about an hour)
Venue: 1 Altoona Place, Mt. Lebanon, Pittsburgh, PA, 15228

Parenting teens and tweens is one of the most rewarding, and let's be honest, sometimes the most challenging seasons of parenthood!

If you know a parent who could use some practical support right now, I'd love for you to share this with them.

At the end of May, we are running a Parenting Teens & Tweens workshop through Core Connections, and I designed it with one simple goal: to give parents real tools and a community of like-minded people to lean on.

Here's how it works:

Families receive a series of short videos to watch at home covering communication, anxiety, parenting styles, and practical strategies. Then we come together in person for a Q&A and open conversation with other parents navigating the same thing

It's a safe, supportive space without judgment, just honest conversation and shared experience.

Interested or know someone who might be? Drop a comment, send me a message, or share this post. I'd love to connect. 💛

Parenting a teenager or tween can feel like navigating entirely new territory, and we wanted to create something that actually helps. We are so excited to share that we have put together a video series designed specifically for parents of tweens and teens, packed with practical insight and support for this unique season of parenting.

We are pairing the video series with a live, in-person workshop, a dedicated space to come together, ask your questions, and connect with other parents walking the same road.

Don't worry if you don't get a chance to watch the videos before the workshop. You are more than welcome to show up just as you are, and we will take it from there together.

Spots are limited, so we'd love for you to grab yours!

Date: Sunday 31st May at 4pm

Time: 4pm - 5pm

Location: 1 Altoona Place, Mt. Lebanon, Pittsburgh, PA, 15228

Cost: $55 (for the entire package which includes the videos and workshop)
