I strive to help parents heal their childhood wounds and focus on what's really important in raising their children. I grew up watching the people I loved struggle due to childhood wounds. This taught me how important childhood is. As a young parent I learned how difficult it was to fulfill the role society told me was expected of parents. I have a casual and relaxed approach to therapy and follow my client's lead. As my clients discuss their current concerns I help them learn from these experiences in a way they can apply to future situations. I respect my client's individuality and help them find solutions that suit them.

Elise Loprieno, LMFT reporting for duty! I believe Play is an antidote to perfectionism, and my favorite intervention is something I call "exposure to compliments" which helps to build a sense of safety in the practice of being kind & gentle with ourselves. Self-compassion (or lack thereof) is often at the root of many other struggles in the mental wellness realm. By working in a trauma-informed way to heal the roots of your metaphorical plant, we can make a much bigger impact on creating a more easeful daily lived experience for you with much less time and effort than other more specific approaches.
