Eli’s devotion in the field of therapy is working with pre-teens, teenagers, and young adults living with the feelings of depression, anxiety, and suicide. Eli has successfully worked with hundreds of clients in creating a life worth living.

I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to treat a broad range of mood and anxiety disorders. From 2004 until his death in 2021, I worked with Dr. Aaron T. Beck, who is regarded as the "father" of CBT, to develop and evaluate CBT treatment protocols for many types of clientele and treatment settings. I deliver these evidence-based treatments in my clinical practice. I work well with clients who seek an active, problem-focused, and evidence-based approach to resolve their emotional distress and life problems in a warm, supportive, and compassionate environment that is focused on the cultivation of a strong therapeutic relationship.

I help people with anxiety, depression, grief, divorce recovery, trauma, imposter syndrome, shame, guilt, and other issues life presents. Problems can feel large, like a two-ton boulder. Therapy is a place to unpack what you can’t share with people you know. You'll develop the tools you need to move that boulder out of the way so you can move forward. Life is complicated and it can get heavy and messy. Things can seem like they've been turned upside down. Some situations feel like a funhouse mirror and you want out of the funhouse but you don’t know how to find the exit.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist, specializing in the treatment of trauma, addiction, depression, grief/loss, and emotional dysregulation. When your coping mechanisms are no longer sufficient, and you're feeling overwhelmed, unhappy, anxious, or disconnected, therapy is an opportunity to learn how to increase your ability to manage life's demands, improve your quality of life, and achieve the change you are looking for. Therapy will begin with a conversation about your hopes for our work. Together we will deepen our understanding of your concerns, and establish new ways of feeling and being in the world.

With all clients, my goal is to help facilitate a dialogue that will assist individuals in building confidence to engage in meaningful relationships, increase problem solving skills and overall self-worth.

It is my belief that everyone has suffered from a mood disturbance at one time in their life. What makes for different diagnosis is the intensity of the mood change and the duration. I believe we fuel our mood by our own cognitions and unhealthy habits and coping skills. My style is extremely interactive and direct, insuring results early on in the treatment process. When possible, I try treatment without medications, however there are chemical imbalances which must be treated via a Psychiatrist (for medications) and a psychotherapist for the psychoeducational piece,(talk therapy).I maintain relationships with area psychiatrists.

I believe that everyone has the potential to live a fuller, happier and more enriching life. Therapy is an excellent way to achieve the life you want to live and be the best you. Therapy provides an opportunity for you to look at what you are doing, thinking and feeling on a daily basis and what is or is not working well in your life. This information will forge a path that will empower you to feel more confident in both personal and work relationships. The goal is to help you feel less anxious, depressed, angry, helpless or whatever symptom is bringing you into therapy. I also offer video therapy or tele-therapy at the present time

Are you new to therapy and nervous to start? Or have you tried it before and spent your sessions trying to achieve a good grade in therapy – whatever that could possibly mean? I am a licensed social worker, and I'm passionate about working with young adults who are lost, worried, stressed, and anxious. Those who have spent their lives being high achievers and aren’t sure where the resume stops and they, a human person worthy of love just as they are, begin. I value collaboration, empathy, humility, warmth and humor in the therapeutic relationship. You are the expert on your own life.
