I am a licensed clinical social worker in Utah with over 5 years working in a therapeutic capacity.

My counseling style is non-judgmental and self determination focused. I believe that people change when they are ready and they make decisions the best way they know how.

Changes is never an easy task but the first step is making the choice to engage. Everyday you show up is progress in the right direction. If you are ready to take that step I will do everything I capable of to help you move forward towards the life, dreams and goals, you desire.

She has been the only therapist that I feel genuinely cares for me and helps me find the root of the problem. She has given me the perfect advice on what to do for all of my situations and reminds me of how well I am doing. Made me feel comfortable since day one. Love this girl to pieces <3

Irene has been kind, respectful, inciteful and understanding. I have been more comfortable sharing things that in the past I've been uncomfortable expressing even in a therapeutic session. Irene's approach is subtle, not diving in with questions but listening, reflecting, and then strategically choosing times when a suggestion might be appropriate. I've continued therapy beyond the sessions my insurance covers because I've found it helpful.

I appreciate Irene's willingness to provide judgement-free help through many mediums: texting and video chatting are the two I've used with her. I enjoy speaking with her and feel that she truly views me as a whole person, and not just my mental health struggles. I am glad I was given Irene as a therapist.
