I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), licensed in the state of Kentucky, with 20 years of experience. I have worked in diverse settings , helping clients with a wide array of struggles, such as depression , grief, anxiety, impulse control, trauma, OCD, relationship problems, anger issues, mood dysregulation and others.
I approach each client offering unconditional positive regard, and strive to create an atmosphere of humility, compassion, and grace for each individual, as they come seeking help and hope for positive changes in their lives. It 's a difficult challenge to come to a therapy session, and talk to a stranger about things that matter most in your life., so it is a truly an honor and privilege to be trusted to provide the care and help that you are hoping for.
My approach is eclectic and wholistic, using Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral, Solution Focused, Person Centered, trauma informed, Choice/Reality, Strengths Based, and others. I believe we as human beings are too diverse to provide cookie cutter treatment, so I try to meet each client where they are, and use an approach that will work for them specifically. I believe clients are the experts on themselves, so You will always be in the drivers seat, as you m ove through the process of finding hope and healing,, and I will partner with you to provide support and help on your journey to change.
If you are ready to start your journey, It would be an honor to work with you!

I am profoundly grateful to have Irene as my therapist. The impact she has made on my life is immensely positive. I have grown and will continue to become a better version of myself with her expertise, kind hearted support, deep knowledge of all things psychological and emotional, helpful strategies, storytelling and compassion. I started therapy because my dad passed away and I needed a place to put my grief and have it make sense. I continue therapy because I realize how much more I can expand my thinking and my heart.

Irene is friendly and relaxed in her consultations. She can quickly pick up on something I gently touched a toe on in passing. -Nope, that’s significant. Let’s visit that for a bit.- And she’d gently touch on what I was pushing to the back of my mind to avoid dealing with. Very insightful. She gave me physical practices to help me cope with / relief from specific types of stresses that has been SO helpful. I have come to truly trust her and I greatly value my sessions with Irene.

Irene has made such a positive impact on my life.
I was so desperate for help during a very trying time in my life and Irene was always so compassionate and insightful. She has helped me gain the tools to cope with my issues in a more constructive way. I’m so blessed to have been matched with her.
Because of how much Irene has helped me, I recently made the decision to scale back on my sessions and it was so hard to do because I truly enjoy talking to her every week.
Irene is incredible at what she does and BetterHelp is “better” for having her on their team!
