You don’t want to just talk about your problems. You want change.

Amy Dunn, IFS therapist in North Carolina

Hi, I’m Amy.

I specialize in helping people who are stuck in survival mode. People who have it within them make changes to improve their lives, and just need the tools and support to get there.  People just like you.

I help my clients work with their overwhelming thoughts and emotions so they can move past survival mode and live the life they’ve been longing for.

please Hear me when I say:

If you're looking to go deep, and get to the root of your challenges, so you can heal them for good, then you're in the right place. 

You’ve been through some really hard stuff. You always figured that once you made it to the other side, you would be able to feel relaxed, peaceful and confident. But it hasn’t worked out that way. So you decided to keep going, try harder and do better. Journaling, podcasts, bubble baths, that new meditation app, you’ve tried it all. Maybe you even tried talk therapy. But instead of feeling relief, you feel frustrated that your core issues are not being addressed.

How I work

At the core of my approach to therapy is a belief that it is essential to listen to all the different parts of you. 

The anxious parts, the grieving parts, the parts that are frustrated with what life has given you, the parts that want to give up, and even the parts who wonder if therapy can help.

You’ve tried ignoring them, telling them to shut up, and drowning them out with everything from positive affirmations, to Netflix, to ice cream. Maybe it’s helped a little, but not enough. You want more. You want more peace, more Self-compassion, more joy, more relaxation and more out of this life. The solution for this looks different for everyone and we’ll work together to find what works for you.   

Therapy with me is…

  • You are the expert on you. I specialize in helping people heal using IFS. Together, we can safely work towards deep healing.

  • I love doing deep work with people. This is where we get to see amazing transformations. If you are looking to go deep in therapy, I can help you get there.

  • I hold the unshakable belief that all of your parts are trying to help you, even when it doesn’t look like it. This belief allows me to approach parts with openness and compassion. Even parts that are turning your life upside down.

  • I’m not going to lie. Deep healing is often hard and messy work. It’s also very effective. If you are ready to work this way, I can show you how.
