I was raised in Peru. I attended Brigham Young University and graduated with my Bachelor Degree in Psychology and Social Work. I married while in school and raised six children. I started work at a state social services agency, working for children and families. I attended the University of Utah and earned my Master Degree in Social Work.
I have worked as a therapist, most recently in Private Practice, in a Hospital setting and In a Social Services Agency.
I like to start working with clients from where they are, at the time. I have been able to help clients adapt helpful ways to deal with personal relationships, with parenting challenges. Also, have assisted clients who are dealing with depression, anxiety, grief added to the challenges of daily life. I have had the privilege of helping clients at their most vulnerable times in their lives, we all need help at times. I have assisted people in dealing with depression and anxiety when the source is not clear and obvious.
I believe that mental and emotional health is crucially important if we are going to have full participation in life. I believe this process involves the use of many different components, for best results. So, we need to make sure that there are not medical reasons for the issues we are going to be working on. We look into what we have learned about ourselves and about others. We look into the ways we respond to the changing world around us and consider other possible ways to better that connection. We learn new skills, to deal with the world around us. First, by looking at the world around us from a different perspective; Second, by learning to look at ourselves without judgement; Thirdly by examining the motivations behind our words and actions.
With pure intention, we can gain enormous insight , which will be the foundation of further understanding of ourselves and the world around us, in our constant effort to reach a meaningful empowered life.

Eliana has a wonderful perspective that has led me to think deeply about the choices I make.

Always listens and already reminds me how I should react or what I should be focusing on. It’s easy to get caught up in a moment and she reels me right back. My business and relationship have benefited from her services.

Eliana is amazing! She’s only been counseling me for two weeks but I’m already seeing progress in myself and my mental state and perspective. Although it’s still a work in progress, all in all, Eliana has indeed helped me, from the get-go, to take the necessary steps for change.
Her methods are unlike the ones I’ve experienced with other counselors. It’s practical yet emotional, instructive yet compassionate advice. I can feel her empathy but still receive a sense of push I need to pursue our weekly goals and for my life to improve and for me to feel happiness within myself and in my life.
Eliana is an excellent counselor and I’m beyond happy and satisfied to have been matched with her. Thank God for BetterHelp for being the perfect resource in my situation.

Eliana is very caring and insightful and very supportive of things that seem to be my true needs. After coming from a very religious/legalistic environment, it is refreshing for me to feel that someone sees my true needs and has good insight as to how I can meet them. She is supportive and friendly and encouraging and gives me reassurance when I am on the right path to healing!

Eliana is a great listener.
Written on Feb 20, 2020 after therapy with Eliana for 2 weeks
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with Eliana. When I joined the program I wasn’t sure a counselor through an online service could help me, nor was I sure based on my requirements that she would even be a fit. I couldn’t have been more wrong. She has been highly responsive and available, and works with me as a loving, non judgmental friend. She listens closely and is direct in challenging my thinking. I highly recommend Eliana!

She is very kind and encouraging. She’s very sweet and makes me feel better about myself just by being able to talk to her whenever I want and know she’ll respond quickly. She works with me and what I need and is very considerate. I’ve been opposed to having female therapists, but I have been very happy with her. Definitely recommend.
