As a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist, Elora supports youth and adults living with anxiety, OCD, autism, depression, trauma, addictions, and relationship issues.

Elora has more than 10 years of experience and training focused in supporting survivors of domestic violence, human trafficking, incest, and sexual abuse of all kinds for all ages. Her empathetic and compassionate approach is bolstered by her lived experience with mental health and trauma.
