My Philosophy

I have been passionate in both my clinical and community activities to support people as they navigate life transitions, and difficult times. My approach as a therapist 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.
