**Irene’s straight talk and personal style was very helpful to me. She is easy to talk to and keeps the sessions casual. She didn’t overwhelm me with a million things to do, but helped me to attain small goals one at a time in a friendly atmosphere. Irene gave me a new perspective on my issues each week and really helped me feel better about what I needed to accomplish. ~ Heather
**Amanda is a sharp, innovative, and caring person and therapist. She is always conscious of what I need as a client, often consulting with me to find the best course of action to take in our therapy. She is compassionate and open minded, as well as willing to get down to business when needed. I truly looked forward to our weekly appointments. ~Sarah
**I want to thank Irene for the great help that she has given me in my relationship and my life. She cuts to the chase with a direct approach, while maintaining a great deal of compassion, support and patience. She creates an environment where I am comfortable sharing anything and uses stories and people from her own life to relate to me and come up with ways to work through my issues. Irene has given me the tools that I need to control stress and anxiety in a way that works for me. I will always be grateful for all that she has done for me! ~James
**My boyfriend and I started seeing Amanda a few months ago and have experienced exciting improvements in our communication and closeness. She was able to quickly help us identify a few areas of focus and within a few appointments we made positive progress. Amanda is very knowledgeable and clearly works hard for her clients. She is able to encourage expression (a difficult task for both of us) and maintain neutrality during our conversations. We are happier than we have been in a while and we have the tools we need to maintain our relationship. -Whitney
**When my wife and I had our child, problems with our relationship that had been ignored for a long time became too much for us to fix alone. Irene helped us remember what it was that made us fall in love in the 1st place, while encouraging us to grow as a couple. Irene’s approach enabled us to achieve our goals of being happy together and providing a loving environment for our child. ~ Phil & Ashley
**My wife and I were struggling with some difficulties in our lives. We came to Irene hoping to develop the skills to cope with these difficulties. She exceeded our expectations by providing numerous tools for dealing with our stress and teaching us how to helping each other through our trials and tribulations. ~ Griffin & Natalie
**My husband and I were talking divorce when we decided to give our marriage one more chance and begin couples’ therapy with Irene. We both liked how easy she was to talk to and how she gives enough personal information about her marriage that sessions feel more like a chat with a friend rather than talking at a therapist. Irene helped us discover the issues that were driving my husband and I apart and gave us practical tools for overcoming those issues. We now feel closer than we have in a long time and are very grateful to Irene. ~ Christina & Dave
