“Every thought, feeling, and sensation within your body throughout the day offer you an opportunity to love. Good or bad, whatever you experience is a lesson or a reminder to connect with love.”
~Aletheia Luna
Going through a job transition? Having relationship issues?
Navigating grief? Finding it hard to identify ways to cope with all
the changes 2020 has brought? I can help. I believe everyone can
benefit from having a safe place to discuss what is weighing them
down in a confidential and therapeutic setting. My prior work with
clients has led to broad experience, and I support clients from all
walks of life with a variety of topics. My approach is one that
fosters wellness as a down to earth practice. Whether meeting
outdoors at a park or in my office, you will find a comfortable,
supportive space to connect and begin your new journey as I enjoy
assuredly assisting individuals and families with navigating some of
life’s most difficult seasons. Ultimately, life can throw some
curveballs and make us lose focus of what is truly important. My goal
is to be of help in clearing the fog so you can continue on your most
fulfilling path.
My background is diverse, including work
via private practice, with survivors of domestic violence, and my
prior role with DCBS. I also have certification in leading parenting
classes and am working towards my Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT)
Certification to foster stronger connections with the mind and body.
My style is integrative and adaptable to best meet you where you are
and support your needs.
At Scottville
Counseling Center, we take an alternative approach to therapy, and I
am thrilled to join a team that approaches our work in a unique way.
Typically, after meeting with a traditional therapist, one must be
diagnosed with a mental health disorder for insurance to cover the
services provided. Since our focus is on affordable, quality care, we accept private pay at a rate similar to most
copays, allowing us to bypass the need to file with insurance/share your info with a third party and instead focus on building a desired plan and path forward together.
Scottsville Counseling Center is also
expanding the ways we can assist clients in achieving their best
selves. We are providing ecotherapy to assist individuals with
reconnecting with nature, and I am looking forward to planning and
leading yoga classes.
