Great to meet you!

My name is Iris and I work with individuals, couples, and families. My goal is to create a safe and non-judgmental environment where you can be yourself and take a break from life stressors. I enjoy using my creative, and warm approach to assist my clients with learning coping skills and providing the tools for clients to reach their personal goals. My treatment focuses include Stress Management, Anxiety, Depression, Women’s Issues, Parenting and Relationships. I look forward to the opportunity for us to go on this healing journey together. Please reach out if you feel that I am a good fit for you.

My approach to therapy

I understand the coming to therapy can be overwhelming. I am a lighthearted person who uses humor and positive validation to make you feel more at ease with the process.

During the first session we will discuss your preferences and goals for therapy. In addition, we will review mental health history and consents.
