About

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or lost in the midst of relationship changes? Family conflict can make day-to-day responsibilities feel like emotional quicksand- impossible to trudge through. Stuck in the eye of the hurricane of grief and feeling as if there’s no way out? The depression and anxiety can be debilitating and the confusion and panic about which way to turn is paralyzing. Maybe you’re sick of the stuffy “how does that feel?”-blank-stare-therapist sitting across from you. You’ve tried that route and nothing seems to work. Meet Irene. Irene takes an eclectic approach with her clients, one grounded in humor, the body-brain connection and authenticity. Irene comes with a wealth of knowledge and life experience that she taps into while treating the challenges her clients are facing every day. In addition to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and meditation, Irene uses movement to get in touch with the body and release the mind from the constraints of traditional therapy practice. Irene identifies as a flow-enthusiast, engaging in activities like hula hooping, fire hooping, and fire eating. Don’t fret- she may not ask you to do those things- but she can bring a similar energy to her practice that will help you unlock your potential by using therapeutic movement. Irene also uses a combination of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Polyvagal Modalities to support her clients in feeling more in-tune and integrated with their bodies. Irene is quirky, fun and outside of the box. Her clients report feeling liberated and seen after talking with her- approaching their treatment from an unconventional perspective, one that’s not only evidence based, but not something you can get just anywhere.
