Introduction

Ellen believes that every person holds unique life experiences that cumulate to create the story of who they are. These stories provide context to how people express themselves and view the world around them. Within the therapeutic space, Ellen seeks to meet her clients in a warm, non-judgmental environment, one that is guided by a holistic framework to identify what health and wellness look like for each individual. By incorporating a strengths-based approach and emphasizing acceptance, Ellen focuses on collaboratively exploring each person's story to find the balance in accepting what they cannot control and making changes in areas they can. With a specialization in trauma, Ellen’s training is inclusive of diverse treatment modalities and interventions. She has experience utilizing trauma-informed therapy with adolescents and adults in the management of depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, low self-esteem, and interpersonal conflict.
