Elissa has a Bachelor’s degree in psychology and Master’s Degree in Divinity. Currently, Elissa is a student at Capella University working towards a Master’s of Mental Health Counseling. She has worked as a chaplain in a trauma level 1 hospital, as a substitute teacher, and a youth director. Elissa works with individuals of all ages and has served alongside families from birth to death. Elissa has spent much of her career walking with families in the grief process. She works with all faith backgrounds including the "nones" and "dones". Elissa also currently works as the Stated Clerk of her local denomination.
Elissa's primary therapy method is cognitive behavioral therapy but caters to the individual needs of the client. She is affirming and inclusive and has a particular interest in working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Her belief in counseling is that you are already strong to take the step of seeking assistance in your needs and my role is to walk alongside you in the situations life has brought your way. In a judgment-free zone, you will be valued for who you are as you seek to understand you are not alone in your situation and wholeness in your life.
