HI, I’M IRENE,

I believe healing starts with being seen, heard, and understood.

Many of the clients I work with carry heavy emotional weight, from unresolved family patterns, cultural expectations, trauma, or the quiet ache of feeling “not enough.” Some are navigating recovery and trying to rebuild trust with themselves and others. Others are parents overwhelmed by disconnection or couples lost in cycles of conflict and silence. Some come to me in survival mode, holding it all together on the outside but feeling stuck or broken inside.

If you’re reading this, maybe you’re looking for a space where you don’t have to have it all figured out. Where your pain is met with compassion, not judgment. Where we gently untangle the patterns that no longer serve you and help you find new ways to connect, to yourself, to the people you love, and to the life you want to live.

My work is grounded in family systems therapy, trauma-informed care, and deep respect for the cultural stories that shape who we are. Whether we’re exploring your inner parts, repairing family bonds, processing grief, or finding meaning in your recovery journey, I walk alongside you, not as the expert on your life, but as someone trained to help you access your own strength, clarity, and healing.

Therapy with me is relational, curious, and real. I bring curiosity and care into the room, helping you uncover what’s beneath the surface in ways that feel safe and empowering. I offer grounded guidance and create space for you to show up just as you are. Therapy goal isn’t to “fix”, it’s to help you find your way back to yourself.

If something here resonates with you, I invite you to reach out. I’d be honored to be part of your healing journey.
