About me
My background is holistic since 1987 - I have 10+ years in complementary/nutrition/health food, & a mindfulness approach as well as clinical work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), reality-testing, and trauma healing work with Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR mixed with EFT - since 2005). I have 20+ years as a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC), and as a psychotherapist / Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). My graduate Psychology internship 2000-01 was @ Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD) where I continued as a clinical counselor prior to starting a private practice in '06.
My approach is understanding root issues, ineffective habits/ thoughts, & current influences. I love working with you, helping you understand the effects of your experiences on how you think & identify yourself with life. Together we enter into exploring & seeing what's working - & what needs more balance based on all levels from the physical: what you eat, to how well you sleep; to your emotional, spiritual, personal & professional relationships, and how life feels to you... what is too much? What is missing?
Clients will find a new level of insight, self love, inner harmony - and be able to articulate what needs to change and what goals are in alignment with their truth. Integrating understanding of past emotional wounds allows access to unhooking from pain - the blocks and barriers to goals, and clients will be more free to feel grounded and have deeper clarity in seeing options while creating their best life.

I'm really happy I was matched with Ellen. She quickly understood things most others, even other therapists did not. I highly recommend her. She is great! She helped me quickly work through some deep and confusing issues

Ellen is the unbiased best friend I think everyone needs in their life. She is beyond knowledgeable and her expertise and experiences allow her to fit the needs of whatever I have going on in my life. I feel more secure knowing that no matter what I bring to a session, I’ll leave feeling more attuned to deal with my issue. I hope everyone finds a therapist like Ellen.

Choosing Ellen as my therapist was the best decision I ever made!
She has helped me work through a lot of trauma.
Having her to check in weekly to process and provide great insight into situations I hadn't noticed myself has been so helpful to me.
I highly recommend her and always look forward to the next session!
