Grief Therapists in Rainbow City, AL

From situational stress to severe trauma, there is relief to be found through the therapeutic process. I consider it a privilege to be a part of that journey for each person I meet. Every client’s needs are different, therefore, my treatment approach is always adapting and evolving to the current need. I am equipped to treat problems of any kind, but I specialize in the treatment of grief, trauma, depression, and anxiety.

Evening sessions available! Accepting new clients! Limited income-based (sliding scale) spots available. I do not have an "ideal" client. Instead, I strive to be the "ideal" therapist for each client. Every client presents with different problems, different goals, and different motivators. Therefore, it is my job as the therapist to meet each client where they are at and provide them with the services they need and deserve. The one thing that I believe all clients have in common is the desire to take action that will promote them to a higher level of functioning in their every day life.

Medela means "healing" in Latin. I feel that’s what I do, help others on their journey to healing. I feel that healing is a process; sometimes nice and easy, but sometimes it’s not.

I care about your well-being and my focus is to provide you with all the tools you need in order to seize the day and learn how to tackle even the most traumatic circumstances.

I began human service work in 1986 after receiving my Bachelor of Science degree in Counseling from the University of Montevallo, located in Montevallo, Alabama.

I am currently licensed in Alabama and Georgia (inactive at present in Georgia), and am a board certified supervisor for those wishing to become licensed counselors.

Let's face it, LIFE in and of itself can be challenging and stressful. My goal here at Elevate M.E. Counseling is to assist clients with embodying self-awareness, and achieving a higher level of emotional and mental standards while reflecting on their past, current, and future opportunities. Clients will be guided to implement these tools to overcome past obstacles and potential barriers to moving forward. The ultimate goal is for clients to envision the transition of previous challenges upon entering therapy, to opportunities that will provide elevation towards their future goals and self. Resulting in self-fulfillment.
