Meet June W.
I’m June W., a licensed marriage and family therapist and licensed clinical social worker who helps people heal from within, strengthen relationships, and reconnect with themselves and others.

What is Internal Family Systems (IFS)?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy model developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz. It’s based on the idea that we all carry different “parts” within us, such as inner voices, emotions, or roles. Some parts protect us, some hold pain, and some help us thrive.
IFS helps you:
-
Understand your parts with curiosity and compassion.
-
Heal parts of yourself that carry burdens from past experiences.
-
Strengthen your “Self” — the calm, centered, wise part of you that can lead with clarity.
IFS is widely used for trauma, anxiety, depression, and relational struggles, but it’s also helpful for anyone seeking deeper self-understanding and growth.

What can I expect during an IFS therapy session?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an evidence-based approach that helps you understand your “inner parts” — the different voices, emotions, and roles you carry. In an IFS session, you can expect:
​

A guided exploration of your inner world, with compassion and curiosity.
-
Time to connect with your “Self” — the calm, grounded center of who you are.
-
Support to help you unburden parts of yourself that carry pain, shame, or protective roles.
​
The goal of IFS is to bring more balance and self-leadership into your life so you can live with greater clarity, confidence, and compassion.

What can I expect during an IFIO therapy session?
Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO) is a way of using IFS principles in couples therapy. In an IFIO session, you and your partner can expect:
​
-
A structured but compassionate space to explore difficult patterns.
-
Tools to help you communicate more clearly and listen with empathy.
-
Guidance to heal past hurts, rebuild trust, and reconnect with one another.
