Iris is dedicated to supporting adults, children, and couples as they navigate life’s emotional challenges and transitions. Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, relationship stress, or simply seeking deeper self-understanding, Iris offers a warm and grounding space where you can explore what you’re feeling without fear of judgment.
Her therapeutic style is integrative and personalized, combining Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based practices, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and humanistic approaches. This allows her to tailor the work to each client’s unique needs—helping you gain insight, build practical coping skills, and make meaningful changes.
Her clients appreciate her warmth, thoughtfulness, and ability to meet them exactly where they are. Iris believes that taking the first step toward therapy is an act of courage—and she is honored to walk with clients as they discover new perspectives, reconnect with themselves, and build a more grounded, meaningful life.
