Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

For those who are new to therapy, the first session can understandably bring about feelings of anxiety. This is completely normal, so there's no need to worry. Our primary aim during this initial session is to establish a comfortable atmosphere and begin building a professional relationship, which is fundamental to the success of our therapeutic journey together. Simply come as you are, relax, and embrace the experience. Let's take this first step together and embark on this journey with a sense of ease and openness.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I strongly believe in the transformative power of therapeutic relationships with my clients, where healing and growth can flourish. Rather than fixating on labels and diagnoses, my approach is rooted in celebrating and nurturing the unique strengths and qualities that each individual brings to our work together. This warm and welcoming perspective allows us to embark on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, paving the way for positive change and holistic well-being.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I derive immense joy and fulfillment from the meaningful interactions and collaborations I have with individuals who are considered adults, independent of their varying stages of life and experiences. The opportunity to work with and support adults of all ages brings me a deep sense of purpose and satisfaction in my professional endeavors.

My treatment methods

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

IFS creates a connection between the internal (unconscious) and external (conscious) realms by helping individuals in gaining access to their own Self-energy and, from there, gaining a better understanding and healing of their inner parts.

Couples Counseling

Assisting partners in restoring an emotional connection with each other by finding ways to communicate respectfully, compassionately, and constructively.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

By replacing automatic negative thoughts with rational ones, CBT can help individuals improve emotional difficulties, depression, and anxiety. CBT identifies, challenges, and replaces faulty thoughts with more objective and realistic ones.

EMDR

EMDR's primary objective is to modify the emotions, thoughts, or behavior that resulted from a distressing experience (trauma). Recognizing the difference in how our brain stores normal and traumatic memories allows me to bridge the gap between what we experience (feel, hear, see) and the information our brain stores in memory through language.

She has given me the tools to be mindful of my experiences past and present. She explains to you a clearer description of cause and effect of what you're going through, and it has really been enlightening on my wellness journey. I gain new hope and peace after each session. She's very good at knowing what your path should be on feeling better in your everyday life.

During our first session Iryna listened to both of our perspectives and offered an objective outlook into what challenges we face in communication and offered some suggestions on setting the intention of the conversations we want to have before we have them. This is an approach neither of us had considered before, so our goal that we agreed to is to put this into practice moving forward.
