My weekly Zoom calls with Ellen were a highlight in my life. I was in a difficult situation as a caregiver to my elderly parent and working at a dead-end job. I felt very low. Talking with Ellen weekly helped me navigate tricky situations at work and home. I set personal goals and Ellen encouraged and cheered for me. She empathized with my low emotions and then helped me strategize my way out of pitfalls and recurring holes. Now, when I find myself ruminating or questioning myself, I will take notes and plan to discuss it with Ellen before acting or stressing myself out. Overall, I just feel better, calmer, and emotionally smarter since working with Ellen.

My focus

I am comfortable working with a wide variety of clients. I typically work with those who struggle with mental health, substance use, and relationship issues. I have also worked with those who have chronic pain, history of trauma, legal issues, and job stress.

My approach

My approach is catered to individuals' needs and the approach I use will depend on clients' treatment goals.
