Hello, I'm Iris, and I'm here to help you navigate life's challenges with warmth, compassion, and practical guidance. With an MSW and as a Licensed Independent Social Worker, I bring extensive experience in psychotherapy across various areas, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, family and couple issues, life transitions, and trauma. I work with adults, adolescents over 13 years old, and senior adults, tailoring my approach to meet each individual's unique needs and goals.
My therapeutic philosophy is rooted in the belief that psychotherapy is a valuable tool for those facing life's hurdles. I utilize a variety of treatment models, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Client-Focused and Supportive Therapies, and Inner Child Healing. This diverse toolkit allows me to provide personalized care that helps clients move forward toward their goals.
Specializing in areas such as ADHD, dissociative disorders, sleep disorders, dementia, anger management, antisocial behavior, adolescent and teen mental/behavioral health, grief and bereavement, PTSD, intimate and romantic relationships, stress, suicidal ideation and self-harming, and trauma, I am equipped to support you through a wide range of challenges. My approach is both compassionate and knowledge-based, ensuring that you receive the best care possible.
When you work with me, you can expect a supportive and understanding environment where your unique experiences and needs are valued. Together, we will explore your concerns and work towards meaningful change. I am committed to helping you achieve your goals and improve your overall well-being.
Outside of my professional life, I am passionate about continuous learning and staying updated with the latest advancements in mental health care. This dedication ensures that I can offer you the most effective and evidence-based treatments available.
I look forward to the opportunity to meet with you soon and support you on your journey towards healing and growth. Let's take the first step together.
