I am a LCSW, licensed in the state of Florida with 20 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I graduated from the University of South Florida with my Master's in Clinical Social work in 2000. I have a wide range of experience, working in various practice settings including: inpatient, outpatient community mental health, private practice, and home health. My counseling style is client-centered and strengths-based. I believe we all have the capacity for change and growth and it is my privilege to help motivated individuals in their journey toward self-improvement and growth. You can expect that I will treat you with compassion and non-judgment and be present with you as you work on your self-determined goals. Video sessions are immensely helpful to the therapeutic relationship, but I can communicate with you via text and phone as well. I believe it takes courage and strength to seek help to reach your goals. I am here for you on your journey. I look forward to working with you!

I started BetterHelp when I couldn’t find in-person services due to COVID. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to find someone who could help me. Boy was I wrong about that!! I worked with Elisa for almost a year (or just about a year) and when she met me, I was in a terrible place. She was there for me through it all and helped me grow to become the person I currently am and I couldn’t thank her enough!! She is hands down the best therapist I’ve had so far. I will miss working with her.

This is my first time with BetterHelp and Elisa has been a great support during a time of uncertainty I have been struggling with. She helps provide a positive outlook and alternate pespectives with constructive suggestions to address he issues we discuss that were on my mind. Thank you Elisa!

Elisa is a very personable counsellor, one I know I can talk to without feeling forced into a realization or decision. Because of her, I am in a much better place.
