I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in the treatment of sexual abuse recovery. Trauma resolution is exactly the work that drew me into this field 20 years ago. It is my mission to help heal the sexually abused.
I have been honored to treat numerous victims of the UCLA/Dr. James Heaps case (civil and criminal). As well as clergy abuse for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and the Boy Scouts of America. I have also volunteered for 20 years for Children of the Night, treating victims of sex trafficking.
My two decades of experience treating victims as well as sex offenders allows me a unique perspective on trauma resolution. I provide treatment through numerous modalities such as EMDR, IFS, CBT, hypnosis, Gestalt, and more. As part of the intake process, I will explain these modalities to determine your best treatment plan.
Your Sexual Abuse Recovery
Clients can find relief from flashbacks, nightmares, panic, “freaking out,” confusion, sadness, anxiety, depression, agitation, numbness, dissociation, physical arousal, and “hypervigilance” (which is a constant expectation of doom). As well as from feeling stuck in the fight-flight-freeze mode, ruminating negative thoughts and beliefs about the self and/or sex, addictions, self-harm, feeling like you are losing your mind and other symptoms of unresolved abuse.
I offer a free 30-minute phone consultation to answer any questions about treatment and sexual abuse recovery. Please get in touch today.
Rates are $300 for the initial 90-minute intake, and subsequent sessions are $250 for 60 minutes. While I do not accept insurance, I will be happy to provide you with a Superbill to file a claim for reimbursement.
Twenty-four hours are required to postpone or reschedule any appointment so that someone else can have that time slot. A credit card will be required to hold an appointment. Your card will only be billed if you do not show up or give 24 hours notice. Thank you for respecting this policy.
Dr Irwin accepts Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, checks and cash as well.

After you spoke to us, two students contacted our school nurse about their being sexually abused. Thanks to you, they were able to start on the path to recovery. I just wanted to let you know that what you do is important.

T. L. - Reporter, The ClarionI achieved INCREDIBLE results with Dr. Irwin, and I think she is outstanding. I, probably like many people, was very skeptical about hypnotherapy before my session with Dr. Irwin but I decided to give it a try because all of the other habit-breaking methods/groups that I had tried did not work at all for me. Dr. Irwin records your sessions so that you can listen them over and over to reinforce the positive messages. I could not recommend anyone higher and am very grateful that a friend recommended her to me.
