Hi there, I'm Elissa!

Starting therapy can be overwhelming. Congratulations on beginning your journey of self-discovery. I work with clients facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life challenges. My counseling style is warm and supportive, combining psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral approaches.

My focus

I work with adults managing anxiety, depression, life transitions, and self-esteem issues. Whether you're working through trauma, building coping skills, or exploring personal goals, I'll create a plan that builds self-confidence and supports personal growth.

My approach

I use cognitive-behavioral therapy to help you identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns. This hands-on approach gives you tools to feel more in control of your emotions and behaviors. Together, we'll identify challenges and work on strategies to help you move towards your individual goals.
