More about me

Years in Practice: 23 State: Virginia

Hello, I am a Licensed Therapist (LPC) in Virginia, USA with over 23 years of professional work experience. I have helped clients (both adults and children/adolescents) with various mental health and/or life struggles related to depression, anxiety, coping with trauma/abuse, stress, anger and impulse control problems, grief, aging, difficulties adjusting, low self-esteem, attention deficits, autism spectrum, relational/marital problems, substance abuse issues, parenting challenges, Military/ Veterans issues, care taker fatigue/burn out, Gender dysphoria and LGBTQ issues. Some of the therapeutic techniques I utilize include but are not limited to: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness, Trauma-Focused Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and some Attachment-Based Therapy skills as well as a strength and goal oriented approach. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. With my clients I strive to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. Together we can focus on the goals you would like to achieve and collaborate to bring some relief to your stressors. I offer my therapy services in both English or German language and look forward to working with you.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

The past one and a half in weekly therapy has been the most profound, life-changing therapy I’ve ever had throughout my lifetime. I’d been chemically balanced for the past 18 yrs without therapy but kept repeating the same old negative thoughts/behaviors until I had to deal with deep internal issues. Ina knew within 2 sessions of therapy what was the reason behind my suffering. She was the first therapist to identify the root cause of my inner child trauma wound and after that missing piece of the puzzle was revealed; the hardest work on creating change for myself slowly began. She face me incredible tools and therapeutic strategies to help me overcome my old self in order to become who I was meant to be since childhood. She led me to a healthier mindset and a new way to address the root cause of my suffering. This has been the most profound therapy I’ve ever had or done and I’m eternally grateful for the guidance, compassion, support and insight that Ina has shown me.

She’s extremely understating, doesn’t judge whatsoever, is willing to sacrifice appointment time to take care of important milestones immediately to move forward and feel better. And she has a beautiful dog named Penny. Makes me happy.
