I enjoy working with folks on relationship issues, co-parenting issues, marital issues, and general women's issues.
If you want help making your life more manageable or finding a way out of the chaos, you have come to the right place. If you feel like you are struggling to reconcile experiences or find coping skills to manage mental health concerns, relationship issues, and/or addictions, you have also come to the right place. We will work together to identify the source of your discomfort and unmanageability and then identify tools to move forward. Once we have identified the problem, we can work towards a solution. I am very solution focused in my approach and enjoy working with individuals who are ready to make sustainable change.

I have a passion for helping individuals who may have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, or have been impacted by addiction. I also enjoy supporting others with their mental health challenges and navigating life stressors. For example, one may be experiencing grief, making change, conflict in relationships with others and self, and low self-esteem. As a therapist, I want to build a positive and supportive therapeutic relationship with my clients. I want to be clear on their goals and address any problems they may be facing. Most importantly, I want my clients to feel safe, seen, heard, understood, and valued.

The choice to seek therapy is often complicated and forming a relationship with your therapist is an important part of the process. I create a collaborative space where you can discuss your concerns, identities and story. Together we can identify where you would like therapy to take you, build on day-to-day techniques and explore deeper patterns and experiences that may create barriers. My approach is integrative and incorporates skills, narrative processing, metaphor, and intentional decision making. I hope that through our work you will feel empowered to make changes and feel more secure, stable, and in sync with your values.

I have training and experience in the US and in India and in helping individuals and couples from diverse backgrounds with relationship and parenting issues, substance abuse, identity, depression and severe mental illness.
As a therapist I specialize in Substance Use, Anxiety, Identity development and Couple’s Therapy. Trauma from your past creates messages that can have an impact on how you view yourself. Some of those messages create habits and coping mechanisms that can have negative consequences, consequences that inhibit you from knowing the goodness that lies deep within you. Knowing your inherent goodness gives you the framework and foundation to tackle the tougher issues and is an indispensable starting point for your healing journey.

I work with my clients to create a healthy and helping relationship. I approach therapy open-minded and judgment-free; working to promote a safe and supportive space that facilitates growth, discovery and healing. Often in our lives we lose our identities and our paths become blurred; I have worked with a variety of clients from differing backgrounds and have made it my goal to meet people where they are and to offer myself as an instrument in accessing many of the strengths that they already possess. Therapy offers a way to help improve areas in our lives where we feel we need support.

Life can lead us down some pretty rough paths sometimes, leaving us feeling crazy, confused, and totally lost on what to do and where to go. You don't have to trudge through feeling like this forever. I work with individuals, couples, and teens who just need some relief - from single-incident and complex PTSD, negative beliefs, anxiety, panic, stress, relationship struggles, and other unresolved issues. Many of my clients are insightful, curious, growth-oriented people who are seeking something beyond the typical therapy approach to actually get to the root of their issue and change it - creating a new normal.

Hi, I'm Ellery. I consider it a privilege to work with individuals that are actively seeking change. I understand that it is uncomfortable to discuss intimate life topics with a stranger, and believe that trust building is essential to the growth of a client. As a therapist, it is my top priority to provide a safe and welcoming space where you will feel respected, supported, and heard. I believe therapy needs to be collaborative and am always looking for client input on what is working and why.
