Hey, I'm Ellie! (she/they) I'm a trauma therapist specializing in healing from complex trauma, and working through shame to get to the heart of problems. I believe that we all have shame, and that shame points us to our biggest hurts and our best opportunities for healing. I think we’re all doing our best to feel our feelings, but so many things get in our way – trauma, stigma, insecurity, difficult relationships. The strategies I bring to my clients are aimed at experiencing our lives more fully, by establishing healthy boundaries, grieving past trauma, and connecting to the things and relationships that bring us joy.
I specialize in using transformational trauma therapies including EMDR and parts work to treat many different forms of complex trauma. Maybe you experienced a difficult childhood, traumatic loss, or a harmful relationship. Maybe your trauma shows up in relationships, or in self-esteem. I hope to help you connect with your best self.
If you've survived any of the experiences I've named here, I feel for you, and you deserve to heal and feel better. I'm here when you're ready. Reach out with your questions, or schedule a session with me. My website has more information on my work and on EMDR therapy, but you're always welcome to just give me a call, text, or email directly.

You might be a good fit to work with me if you want to learn more about how trauma has impacted you and move past the hard things you've been through. Complex trauma is my area of focus, which can include any type of harm caused by another person, either in childhood or adulthood, and generally causes problems with self-esteem and relationships in the present.
