I have over 12 years working with a variety of people from varying backgrounds. I've provided counseling in private practice, schools, in patient treatment centers, and military bases.

I then support you as you decide what changes you'd like to make and together we'll create the steps to make those changes.

Every emotion, thought, or feeling we experience is valid and has the potential to impact our lives.

I am a relationally-focused clinician dedicated to helping others reach their full potential. I offer a safe space for anyone to share whatever they need and be whatever they need to be. I am relationally-focused because I believe we can experience greater awareness and understanding of ourselves, others and our struggles from exploring how we experience the past and present relationships in our lives. These struggles can manifest in many different forms which can include anxiety , depression, addiction, and unresolved trauma.

Has distress, trauma, or a major transition disrupted your nervous system, or caused anxiety or depression. Is emotional dysregulation negatively impacting the relationships you care about the most?

* *Accepting new clients** I use a psychodynamic person-centered relational approach valuing the unique needs and desires of each client. I strive to foster a safe, nonjudgmental space for clients to share their own perspectives and emotions surrounding their past and present life experiences while also identifying, exploring, and challenging self-defeating beliefs. I also consider how multiple systems of oppression and structural inequalities impact my clients' wellbeing and the concerns they bring forth.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and psychotherapist, my approach is a client-centered in order to provide a welcoming, collaborative and empathic environment for clients to gain skills to enjoy their life. I specialize in Radically Open DBT (RODBT), an evidenced-based treatment targeting over-control coping that is linked to social isolation, poor interpersonal functioning, hyper-perfectionism, rigidity, risk aversion, lack of emotional expression, and difficult to treat mental health problems such as obsessive compulsive disorder, restrictive eating disorders, and treatment resistant anxiety and/or depression.

I am Ellen. I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor for many years. I have enjoyed helping people in many different roles, situations and places. At this time in my life, I will be meeting you online. While this is a change, it is an incredible opportunity to be here for you, at a convenient time from wherever you are. What stays the same is my job; which is to listen to your concerns so together we can determine the best way to help you. I am very comfortable talking about life transitions; anxiety and depression, coping skills and career changes as a few examples.

You’re an empathetic, sensitive woman. You feel everything more deeply-the positives, negatives, and everything in between. The anxiety , guilt, and sadness have crept up on you. No one can tell because you hold it all together. Yoga, exercise, eating healthy, meditation, and time alone to recharge worked in the past but not so much anymore. You’re exhausted from the overwhelm and it’s taken its toll. Making even the smallest decision has been difficult. Your “to-do” list is getting longer and longer. You want to feel confident, less overwhelmed, and a sense of calm and control over this.

Men's lives are complex today. The identities we grew up with seem out of date and unaccepted. Are you cut off from your feelings and estranged from the fullness of life? Are you anxious or depressed? Do you only feel comfortable in your world of work? Is the external thing or accomplishment you’re chasing no longer giving you meaning or purpose? Are you having problems in relationships with those you care about? Perhaps you find life dry and difficult but cannot put your finger on why. I understand these harsh realizations and help men sort through and navigate their situations and challenges.

I became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker 7 years ago and absolutely love what I do. I have worked in Community Mental Health serving children and families for many years. I have also worked alongside military families across the country as they navigate life serving our country. I was a military spouse for several years and have enjoyed every minute of it! I love working with adolescents, teens, and adults to coach and guide you through life's challenging transitions. Life isn't always easy and sometimes it takes a little slowing down to figure things out.
