My name is Iris Drakeford, LMFT and I have a passion for helping others to find their inner peace and achieve their personal goals. In my twenty plus years of working in mental health field I have found that people want to have a space where they can be their authentic self, without being judged. I am solution focused therapist, and I believe everyone can make progress even if it is small.
When I was young, I had a mentor who helped me to make healthier decisions which is one of the reasons why I became a therapist. Life can have its challenges however, with the proper tool's, life can be an amazing journey. I am wife and a mother which are two my most rewarding relationships. My interest includes painting, skating, and spending time with family.
