Hi, I’m Adrienne.

I’m a trained Buddhist Meditation Teacher, Psychotherapist, Somatic Dance Movement Therapist, certified IFS parts-work and certified Feeding Your Demons practitioner. I am also a queer woman, mother, dancer, 20 year Buddhist Dharma student & recovery/ALANONer, collage-maker, beach goer & dog lover that DJs a monthly somatic dance party called Dharma Disco. I blend east and west parts-work and dharma healing arts together to offer a truly unique way to heal and grow.

My DHARMA parts-work (DIFS) is a unique blend of Creative and Dharma (Buddhist) Arts with Internal Family Systems (IFS). is about bringing radical Self-awareness to meet all parts of you and your embodied spirit. I teach not just IFS, but Dharma IFS so that clients may have the embodied, somatic experience of Self deeply caring for their system of parts with the help of Buddhist practices such as awareness, mindfulness & compassion. In Dharma IFS there is also a special emphasis on Archetypes, Ancestors, guides and embodied connections to Source for resourcing.  I have been devoted to the experiential education of IFS and believe that learning IFS through meditation and creative arts is always done best through experiencing the model first-hand and then allowing intellectual parts to to help with integration. 

If you’re looking to get unstuck as a creative professional, performing artist or person in long-term recovery, you have found the right place. We can have you get to know your own ways to easily access resourcing to your heart-Self to help your system of parts to deepen your own inner-connection to your body, your creative intuition and the original joy that the arts and being of service has been for you. My clients are ready to live from their internal Self-leadership- not external expectations. If you are ready to deepen your emotional intimacy, connect to your spiritual purpose, and experience your body mind & spirit healing as an expressive, spiritual and liberating process, welcome.
