My Philosophy

While I have been passionate in both my clinical and community activities to support women as they navigate life transitions, I have extensive experience working with men as well, and enjoy this work immensely. My approach is both compassionate and relational, and my style is human, collaborative, and nonjudgmental.

 

Hi, I’m Ellen.

My role as a therapist is to create a safe space where we can work together to unravel and clarify the issues that are keeping you stuck in your daily life. I model a humane, kind, caring and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship that promotes authenticity and compassion for yourself and others. My goal is to support you in the healing process towards feeling more connected and whole.

As a therapist, I hold a deep respect for the inherent wisdom of each client, one’s innate capacities, and the coherence of each person’s life journey. From our first meeting, decision-making and treatment goals are created collaboratively. Within our therapeutic relationship, power is shared and I listen deeply to support you in discovering your own path forward.
