Aurelia’s belief is that life stands as our greatest teacher, presenting opportunities to learn and grow with unlimited potential. Emotional distress, fear, or confusion may hinder our ability to recognize this potential. Aurelia offers 20 years of clinical experience in enabling clients to tap into their potential in finding creative and effective solutions to life’s painful and difficult challenges.
Aurelia’s background and training enable her to offer a multidimensional approach to clinical treatment. She has gained insight through her roles in medical social work, clinical therapy, employee assistance program management, and clinical program development and administration. Two years of study in Advanced Psychodynamic Therapy at the St. Louis Psychoanalytic Institute has also provided significant experience and insight to the breadth of Aurelia’s training.
Aurelia’s greatest love is in teaching Christian ideals through spiritual mentoring and meditation. She also has her certification in yoga after completing 200 hours in the study of yoga, Christian yoga, and Christian meditation.
