Hello
My name is Iriny Salib-Sharkawy
MSW, RSW / BA, Psychology (She/Her)
Clinical Social Worker/ Trauma Certified
​
I am most passionate about helping clients in their journey to gain balance and meet their goals.
Science has shown that our body and nervous system both hold our pain and is the source of healing. I love working with my clients to both understand this and learn how to listen to their body to help them live their better life.
