Bio:
Ivana, ED, S, LMHC, is a compassionate and practical licensed mental health counselor who blends traditional and holistic approaches to gently guide her clients, ages 10 and up, through life’s toughest transitions, including grief and loss. With 18 years of experience working with school-aged children, Ivana has a deep understanding of their unique challenges. In her private practice, she offers a safe and supportive space for individual counseling, group sessions, and therapeutic intensives. As a proud military sister and first responder relative, Ivana understands the pressures faced by those who serve. But her most cherished role is being a loving mom to her 14-year-old and 11-year-old children. In her downtime, Ivana enjoys dancing and recharging with a peaceful nap.
Practice: Holistic and Integrative Mental Health is how I would describe my practice. I cover the wellness paradigm, Cognitive Behavioral Theory, Meditation, Mindfulness, Yoga Nidra, clean living, and aromatherapy in my sessions with clients. Many struggle with low self-worth and low self-care stemming from Trauma and long-term self-neglect. I seek to help them help themselves. Empowering them to heal themselves.
