Do you struggle with chronic pain or illness and feel as though it's stopping you from living the life you want? Are you facing a major transition, stressor or anxiety? Hi, I'm Ellen and I'm glad you've found me! As a member of the disabled community, I understand the challenges that can arise when we don't feel heard or understood. I also have experienced how rewarding finding the right therapist to help me tackle these challenges could be. I'm here to listen and help you overcome barriers, no matter the problem. We will work together to develop a plan with skills-training and achievable goals that help you flourish.
I utilize a person-centered, strengths-based approach with adults and seniors that is tailored to my clients' needs. Whether you have excessive worry or struggle with self-esteem we can come up with a plan that utilizes mindfulness, behavior change and social supports to achieve results.
Building a strong counselor-client alliance is key to success in counseling, so let's start now! I am excited to help you meet your goals and realize your potential. Please feel free to book with me via 'my website'.
