Early recovery is a period of immense vulnerability and uncertainty as you begin to deconstruct the walls raised in active addiction and replace them with the coping skills necessary for success in long-term recovery. I believe wholeheartedly in the value of the therapeutic alliance and offer an environment that promotes sustainable change; to me, recovery is about more than putting down the drugs, it’s about becoming your best self.

Thinking of therapy? Ask us for the first session free. IPG paved the way for other Queer-affirmative therapists. Founded in 1983 specifically to serve the LGBTQ+ community, back when most practitioners viewed it as a mental illness, we are still trailblazers, working with trans/GNC folks, bi/pansexuals, the kink/BDSM community, consensual nonmonogamists, and others who make up the "Q+" in LGBTQ+. You may not want therapy because you are gay, but you likely want a therapist who is not only affirming but knowledgeable. We understand the special issues of LGBTQ+ individuals, couples, and families, and we provide sex therapy as well.

My ideal clients are women who've recently realized they've suffered from narcissistic abuse. These brave individuals seek therapy whilst feeling sad, confused, scared, and angry, torn between the truth and the illusion of their past relationships. At first, they struggle to identify and express their needs due to codependency. My goal is to provide compassionate support and guidance to help them navigate this challenging journey towards healing and self-discovery.

Life has recently shown me that curveballs are bound to happen with no warning whatsoever. COVID-19 was a clear example of that. This past years have shown me just how quickly life can be derailed and how pivotal it is for mental health professionals like myself to exist. I have spent the last year working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, biomedical issues, their various relationships, traumas from the past and present, family matters, and substance use.
