Hello! I'm Elsie, and I am passionate about the fact that healing happens in connection with others. I'm licensed in MA and CO, and I work with individuals, couples, and families who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, whether you're navigating relationship challenges, life changes, anxiety, grief, or simply making sense of what you're feeling. In therapy with me, you’ll find a warm, supportive space where you can show up as you are. Together, we’ll build a genuine connection. I offer compassionate guidance, practical tools, and fresh perspectives to help you feel more grounded, hopeful, and empowered.
I take a trauma-informed, relational approach, and I regularly seek out fresh education via trainings, books, podcasts, and colleagues. I am continuously curious in order to best support you.
I’m not a button-upped, blank slate therapist - I embrace my authenticity and humor, to provide you with a safe, judgement free space to also be your authentic self. Therapy is a vulnerable yet transformative space—one that can be enlightening and deeply rewarding. It would be my privilege to walk alongside you on your journey.
