How do you know when you are in need of a counselor? Perhaps you have already talked with family and friends about your struggles, but nothing seems to help, change doesn’t happen. You’ve experienced a loss, conflict in a relationship or work problems. If you’re a student maybe you are struggling to sort out current and future directions. Maybe you have a sense that something isn’t quite right, you have felt better. Talking to a counselor is the first step toward renewing and regaining fulfillment in your life.

At On Mental Health Matters, I believe that exceptional mental health care is built on trust, compassion, and individualized treatment. My goal is to create a welcoming, judgment-free environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to take meaningful steps toward lasting emotional wellness. I'm passionate about caring for the whole person, and I understand how daunting seeking mental healthcare can be. With more than 25 years of healthcare experience and advanced training as a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide evidence-based medication management and supportive psychotherapy tailored to your unique needs. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach, I take the time to understand your story, identify the root causes of your symptoms, and develop a treatment plan that aligns with your goals, values, and lifestyle.  

We are an online practice including compassionate, experienced psychologists and licensed professional counselors who provide mental health services to individuals, couples, families, and children located in Virginia, D.C., Georgia, and to American Expats who are located abroad. We also offer fully virtual, psychological testing for ADHD, Pre-adoption, and Intelligence testing. We specialize in PTSD, Complex Trauma, Dissociation, Anxiety, Depression, Grief & Loss, Disability, and Life Transition & Adjustment. We see adults, adolescents, children and welcome all people from diverse backgrounds. Therapy Solutions, LLC, as a practice, also specializes in working with individuals and families who are globally mobile, including Third Culture Kids (TCKs) and Adult TCKs. We are proud of our clinicians and the exceptional work they do to help each client and family gain a sense of calm, joy, and self. Each therapist has a unique perspective, specialty, and focus which serves a wide range of clients. Many of our therapists are instructors or faculty in University settings and have extensive training in areas such as trauma, grief, TCK issues and psychological assessment.  

I provide therapy to individuals across the lifespan, offering a compassionate and culturally competent space for healing and growth. What keeps me committed to this work is seeing those meaningful moments when clients gain clarity, feel truly understood, or recognize their own resilience. Supporting people through trauma, anxiety, and substance use challenges is work I approach with steady care and respect. I value showing up with honesty, curiosity, and a calm presence, and I’m grateful to play a supportive role as clients strengthen their confidence and move toward lives that feel more grounded and authentic. Additionally my task-trained therapy dog brings a calming, grounding presence to sessions and often helps clients feel more at ease as they do difficult work.  

You may be the reliable one, the person others count on, even as your mind rarely slows down. Over time, carrying pressure without space to reset can leave you tense, reactive, or quietly exhausted. You don’t have to be in crisis to want things to feel steadier. Sometimes it’s simply time to stop holding everything alone.  

If you are ready to change your life, keep your commitment and reach your long desired goals, then I am here to help. Anxiety, fears, depression and uncertainties do not have to "paralyze" you so you can't function effectively. Insecurity, relationship issues and anger do not have to monopolize your thoughts and keep you from the peace and well being you deserve. You are a source of possibilities and together we can explore your options through effective tools, strategies and new perspectives. Let me help you transform from where you are now to where you want to be.  

Congruence Counseling Group is dedicated to providing compassionate, client-centered care where individuals feel heard, respected, and supported. Our therapists bring diverse experiences, evidence-based approaches, and a genuine commitment to each client’s wellbeing. We strive to create a welcoming space where meaningful growth and healing can take place. If you are looking for thoughtful support and practical tools to navigate life’s challenges, we invite you to connect with our team.  

I'm alive, I'm awake and I feel gay, in the homosexual sense and the sense of joy. I’m a Filipina butch lesbian grown in Texas and brings the queer southern kindness with my presence. My ultimate goal is collective liberation, and that guides how I work with clients in supporting how situations, relationships and patterns of behavior and thoughts can align with their own personal values and goals  

What makes my practice different is that I don’t just focus on helping you cope with what you’re feeling—I want to help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface. Many of the women I work with love God and have strong faith, yet still feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns they can’t seem to change. I offer a compassionate, judgment-free space where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing while we uncover the deeper wounds and beliefs that may be keeping you stuck. Together, we integrate biblical truth with practical tools to help you experience meaningful healing, lasting change, and greater freedom in who God created you to be.  

I am a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where patients are empowered to improve their mental health and overall well-being.  

I am an LCSW, a mom, a stepmom, a wife, a disability advocate and an aspiring farmer! I enjoy being able to have a virtual private practice where I can take breaks to go for a walk on our family farm and grab some goat snuggles or explore trails in the woods with our pack of corgis. As your therapist, I aim to create a safe space where we can work together to reduce stressors, reprocess trauma, learn coping skills/resources and see growth as you gain confidence in your path forward.  

After around 50 years as a practicing psychologist and psychotherapist, I find the work ever more engaging and rewarding. By taking a collaborative, interactive approach, I try to help people look for different ways of handling problems, whether they be old, familiar ones, or new, even unexpected, ones.  

Welcome! My colleagues and I support adults, teens and couples looking for greater self understanding and ease. We incorporate mindfulness and somatic therapy with talk therapy, and draw from contemporary cognitive behavioral strategies to offer a healing experience that is personal, deep, and practical. Our areas of focus include anxiety and depression, relationship concerns, identity exploration, insomnia, and eating disorders. We also work frequently with people in the transition to parenthood, creative professionals, and people in high pressure careers or schools.  

“Just because you’re the one doing the inner work doesn’t mean you have to do it alone.” If you are living with constant ‘what ifs’ or the echoes of past experiences, please know that your feelings are valid and you are not broken. Taking the step to start therapy is a powerful, courageous act, and you deserve a safe, non-judgmental space where your story is heard and your resilience is truly honored. Because every journey is unique, we will partner together at your pace, focusing on your inherent strengths to navigate these challenges, step by step. We will work to take manageable actions toward the peace, clarity, and balance you deserve, helping you reclaim your sense of self and find a future where you feel empowered, secure, and truly at home within yourself.  

I believe that being truly seen, heard, and understood is at the heart of meaningful change. I strive to create a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where you can feel safe being yourself, exploring difficulties emotions and working through life’s challenges at your own pace. I do this while using evidence-based practice. It is my goal to understand you as a whole person—not just the struggles that bring you to therapy. My goal is to help you recognize your strengths, develop greater self-understanding, self-compassion and to build the psychological flexibility to navigate life’s challenges. You deserve a therapeutic relationship grounded in trust, authenticity and compassion, and that is what I work to offer every person who enters my practice.  

What you want to achieve is our goal. I am attentive and straightforward, as well as caring. In twenty years of practice, I am grateful that many clients have told me that our work together was really helpful. Some return as needed, often for a shorter period when something new comes up they want help to handle. When we meet, you will tell me a bit about your life, what is causing dis-ease in your life, and how you want your life to be. We will brainstorm together about how you can begin working toward that goal. This means regardless of which treatment modality (therapy style) is used, I am aware and attending to your vocalized goals, your patterns of behavior, your feelings in relationships - including the one with yourself - and much more. It is true that we are affected by our experiences and upbringing and that may or may not be affecting you in the present. There is much that goes into satisfying daily life: self-discipline, self-awareness, boundaries, how you talk to yourself and others, your relationships, money and work. I am happy to talk with you on the phone for a few minutes. The cost of an appointment is listed with payment. If you would like to come in and financial circumstances are such that the regular cost makes therapy out of reach, I take on some clients at a lower rate. Please don't hesitate to ask if you are in need this way.  

Scheduling at AYC is easy - schedule an intake as soon as next week. Finding the courage to be true to yourself despite the challenges you have to overcome is the ultimate goal of therapy. I believe one of the greatest grievances is living an inauthentic life with who you are. Regardless of what you’ve been through, if something is stopping you from living your truth - if fear prevents you from engaging in life the way you want or you are attempting to live up to some societal or personal expectation so far out of reach it hurts - If something is preventing you from living your fullest life, you can make a difference! I want to help you reach your fullest potential according to your personal truth, values and beliefs. If we embark on this journey together, you will be the driver. I will simply help you see the different paths to reaching your end goal. In the end, you must be true to yourself in choosing the path you wish to take - or none at all. Finding your truth sometimes means making a decision about whether or not to live your full truth. We can work together to help you explore your options to make the right choice for You. Making the call (or email) to start your journey is the first step - Let us start your journey together!  

As a therapist, I believe that my practice stands out because of my personalized and client-centered approach. I prioritize genuinely listening and understanding each person's unique experiences and needs so that together we can craft a tailored treatment plan that addresses your challenges and goals. With a warm and nonjudgmental demeanor, I create a safe and supportive space for my clients to explore their emotions and perspectives without fear, criticism, or shame. My years of experience and evidence-based training ensure I provide effective and empirically validated treatment approaches for various mental health concerns. I'm passionate about helping my clients achieve their full potential and live healthier, more fulfilling lives. I feel honored to be a part of your journey toward recovery, healing, and growth."  

My training (Yale University Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology; four-year postdoctoral Certificate in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy) is broad and varied. I currently practice individual therapy and group therapy, both online. My approach to working with you will depend to a great degree on what you are seeking. Some people benefit from brief treatment; others seek and benefit from a deeper and longer exploration. I believe the combination of individual and group therapy can be particularly beneficial for many people. My work is guided as much by my own years of personal therapy and psychoanalysis as by my formal education.
