I have experience working with a wide variety of clients, including children, teens, parents, families, older adults, and veterans. I believe in this day and age, everyone needs some guidance to help deal with struggles life can bring.

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.
