Dr. Irena is so kind and genuine. She is one of those people that you meet and you immediately feel comfortable. I can speak to her infertility therapy, and there is something about her that made me feel so welcome and supported.

Dr. Irena came at the recommendation of a trusted colleague. I could not have asked for a better person to guide my husband and I through some of the most difficult times in our marriage and journey as new parents. She is flexible, attentive, and her approach with emotion focused therapy is invaluable. I would absolutely recommend her to my closest friends, family members, and colleagues.
