Iwona has been amazing helping me move forward from a break up. From setting boundaries, to finding myself, to helping me see my self worth, she has helped me in the most kind and compassionate manner. I leave every session feeling better, and happy that I have something to work on.

Iwona is extremely professional with a warm and caring approach. She understands my rollercoaster of emotions even if I don't. She is giving me the tools I need to overcome the situation I find myself in.
