Hello. For the past 30 years, I have had the privilege of providing a safe, compassionate, and healing environment for my clients in the Seattle and Edmonds communities. I'm dedicated to helping clients develop a set of tools, gain confidence in emotional regulation, process & heal from the past, improve relationships with self and others, establish self care, feel better, reduce symptoms, and improve their quality of life. It is my honor to work in collaboration with my clients as they work towards their goals and get back into the driver's seat of their life.

My approach is warm, supportive, and collaborative. I can help you to feel heard and understood and to connect with your strengths and authenticity. I encourage a foundation of acceptance & self-compassion, providing space for all parts to be discovered and expressed so that healing can occur. I will meet you where you’re at and adjust my approach to support your needs, values, and cultural background. I offer guidance in working with dreams and active imagination for those wanting to explore the depths in this way. I enjoy supporting clients to get unstuck, develop self-love and confidence, to live the life they want to live.

My therapy practice is centered in helping people discover the strength they already have, but have been struggling to use. Therapy can be useful for anyone, but sometimes finding the strength to seek out help can be the hardest part. I use a non-judgemental, empathetic, and casual approach with my clients to meet them wherever they are in their lives. Together, we establish goals and solutions. I work with those who are struggling with self-expression and effective communication as well as those who are having difficulty with identity exploration within and outside of relationships.

I work with people of all ages committed to developing self-awareness in order to change or enhance their quality of life. I work with children experiencing anxiety, depression, and home/school challenges. Supporting children usually involves working with parents/guardians and families. I enjoy working with individual adults interested in understanding themselves, their relationships, and their actions. My therapy practice includes play therapy and art therapy, sand-play, active listening, family systems work, and parenting education. I am curious and compassionate in my relationship to clients with varying needs and backgrounds.

Are you feeling anxious, depressed or in a battle with your body? Do you have trouble identifying your needs, establishing boundaries or settling limits. Do you put everyone else first? Are you frustrated by the challenges of ADHD? Are you a parent confused by your child's behavior? Are you someone who has experienced abuse and neglect growing up? Have you been able to move past the pain of grief and loss? Are you feeling disrespected and overlooked in your life? My clients are able to open up about their lives, their secrets and struggles in a warm, safe environment free of judgement where there is trust and understanding.

Hi, my name is Elli and I am here to help you on your counseling journey. Sometimes our brains can feel overcrowded by thoughts and emotions and we need an outside eye to help in making sense of the chaos. Everyone deserves a space where they can be wholly themselves and process life's stressors, this is the space I strive to provide within session. I have a passion for working with both teens and adults in navigating life's transitions and anxieties.

I welcome adult clients who are seeking support and encouragement as they face life's challenges. I am especially skilled and experienced at diagnostic assessment and supportive narrative therapy for adults with high-functioning autism or Asperger's. Many adults have wondered if they might be on the autism spectrum and seek a diagnosis later in life. I am passionate about my work. I am happy to welcome those clients who want to explore spirituality within our work together. I am experienced in counseling GLBTQ clients and clients who identify as poly or kink. I enjoy working with bereaved parents and artists, musicians, and writers.

Trust is vital. I am here to listen, offer support, instill hope, and give practical and effective tools to address your goals. Forming a trusting relationship with a counselor can offer assurance. With a history of working with people of all ages in community mental health, I became a Child Specialist, and worked with children, teens and families. I have extensive experience addressing trauma, depression and anxiety, I provide tools that can give you greater sense of power and success. I use humor and specific skills to build confidence in parenting, trust in relationships, intimacy between couples, behavioral issues of children.
