Welcome! I’m Ellie, a therapist in Denver specializing in trauma-informed care for women and queer folks with relationship trauma, anxiety, and high sensitivity.

I tend not to make promises in therapy, but here are two things I know to be true: you deserve to be well and no one has ever hated themselves into happiness. If you find it easier to be kind to others than to yourself or worry that people would be disappointed if they knew the "real" you, let's talk. Together, we'll cultivate the self-compassion you need to heal and thrive.

I am very skills based, and use DBT as one of my primary methods of ensuring that you have the skills to move forward in life and grow.
My goal is to walk alongside you on your journey and provide the support you need on the journey. There is no judgement based on diagnosis or background. I have spent most of my clinician career working with those with severe mental illness diagnosis or requiring residential mental health treatment. For those transitioning from that setting it is hard to find a clinician and one of my goals is to be able to walk alongside those in transition from residential or intensive mental health treatment as they re-integrate back home.

I utilize a blend of cognitive and somatic approaches in therapy including EMDR, IFS, CBT, DBT, and mindfulness approaches.
I believe that therapy can help us to move toward greater self-understanding, empowerment, and fulfillment. I strive to create a supportive therapeutic space in which you and I can collaboratively process through thoughts, feelings, and experiences with openness and compassion. So often societal messages and stigmas can cause us to view our behaviors with shame and judgment, which can lead us to feel even more stuck. My goal is to support you in slowing down, shifting toward curiosity and compassion, and feeling empowered to make the changes that you seek.
