About Irina

School: Irina is an incisive and warm doctoral-level pre-licensed professional. Her advanced clinical training is at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, Washington, DC.

Research: Irina’s clinical work spans high-pressure institutional and private settings, where she provides trauma-informed, attachment-focused therapy for adults navigating complex psychological and relational concerns. Her focus includes burnout, complex trauma, imposter syndrome, anxiety, and the particular weight carried by people who have to work twice as hard for what looks effortless on others — with close attention to the strain of high-achievers in demanding systems and relationships.

Why She Joined SENS: Irina was drawn to SENS Psychology’s commitment to innovative, individualized care for high-performing clients. She specializes in working with people navigating major transitions — executives, medical providers, students, scrappy women who built something from nothing, and men whose relationships have started to feel like another job.

Why You’ll Love Her: Irina works at both the cognitive and attachment level, blending evidence-based methods with approaches that don’t have to be mainstream — they just have to work. She has an energy that is infectious. And, at her heart, she loves caring for others and thrives on the cerebral analysis of how someone’s brain really works —and how these can interact in relationships and at work. She’s particularly drawn to clients who are externally successful and internally unclear: people who have built impressive lives and aren’t sure they’re living the right one. If you’ve tried other approaches and found them too surface-level, too generic, or simply not made for someone like you — you’re in the right place.

French Fries or Onion Rings: Either way, it’s gotta have hot mustard.
