I am both a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Addictions Counselor (LAC) who in addition to working with depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, adjustment disorders, and sex offense issues, specializes in Co-occurring addiction with mental health disorders.
My counseling style is open, warm, non-judgmental and one of empowerment. I treat those with whom I interact with respect, compassion, and a sensitivity to meet you where you are. My counseling approach incorporates humanistic, cognitive behavioral with use of motivational interviewing. I attempt to fit my communication style with you to meet your unique needs.
One caveat about me: I only am working evening shifts part-time for Betterhelp at this time. That means my available hours for members start at 5pm PST Wednesday through Friday evenings. However I do respond to messages as I can on other days, but again only in the evenings.
It takes courage to explore avenues of change for a more fulfilling and happier life. The first steps can be the most difficult! I am here to support and empower you on your journey. I look forward to supporting you in this work!
Some Background about me:
I worked for four years in Colorado state prisons with sex offenders as well as several years in private organizations providing a wide range of services from substance abuse to depression and anxiety to work on cognitive distortions that perpetuate domestic violence. I have run a wide range of groups addressing areas of cognitive distortions as well as educational groups for behavior modification. While I have training in cases of Domestic Violence, I am not yet state certified to work with those who have been charged with a domestic violence offense. I am currently state approved to work with men who have been charged with a sexual offense.
I am an avid yoga practitioner for health and wellness and have used exercise and healthy eating practices to manage and overcome my own past debilitating autoimmune deficiencies. I specialize in meditation and relaxation practices which have included the use of Acudetox (The 5-point Ear Acupuncture for Detox Protocol). I have written two books on the philosophy of nature as healer and meditation practices, and am working on a third book for expanding meditation practice.
Additional areas of focus: LGBT, Relationship issues, Trauma and abuse, Anger management, Bipolar disorder, Coaching, Compassion fatigue
Clinical approaches: Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy

Where do I begin?!
This amazing human knows so many amazing techniques for healing utilizing elements of CBT, EFT, visualization and meditation to create a holistic approach to therapy! She has taught me how to process and release trapped emotions, tune into my body and my stress response, and create an amazing schedule of self care. Aurelia creates such a safe and comfortable space during her sessions and meets you right where you’re at. Being someone that struggles with anxiety and self limiting beliefs, Aurelia has helped me to gently peel back the layers of what is causing me stress and get to the core of what I need to work on. Aside from being an amazing therapist, she also is super knowledgeable in nutrition and has helped me to find a wholesome diet & ways to meet my nutritional needs as a vegetarian! I cannot say enough about the impact she’s had on my life, she is not only a remarkable therapist but also a remarkable motivator, spiritual mentor, author and friend! Thank you Aurelia <3
