About me
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with six years of experience helping clients with a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, OCD, self-esteem issues, addictions, trauma, geriatric issues, career challenges, and chronic mental illness. I also have experience helping clients with trauma due to physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, as well as individuals who "feel stuck" due to emotional turmoil or relationship issues resulting from childhood abuse or abandonment. I graduated with my Master of Arts degree in psychology in 2016 and am currently a PsyD candidate in clinical psychology.
I view the therapist-client relationship as something that is highly sacred and treat my clients with respect, sensitivity, and unconditional positive regard. I believe validation and empathy are necessary parts of the therapeutic process and I treat clients with a warm and compassionate approach. My therapeutic approach also includes DBT, CBT, ACT, experiential, client-centered psychodynamic, mindfulness, narrative, inner child work, solution-focused, and humanistic techniques, specifically tailored to the needs of my client. I also help empower my clients to be experts of their own lives; I am the tour guide but this is your therapeutic journey and I will be respectful of working at a pace that is comfortable for you.
It takes courage to take these first steps in your therapeutic journey and I want to congratulate you for your decision to prioritize yourself in order to obtain a happier and more fulfilled life. I look forward to working with you.

I love working with Ellie. She has been so supportive and considerate through the ups and downs. I always feel so much better after talking to her.

Ellie is sensitive, caring and a great listener. I feel supported by her and I feel like I can tell her anything!

She's amazing! The text-only works great for me. Her responses are always so well thought out, and she has no pressure or timeline for progress or talking with her. I've been through a lot of therapists on BetterHelp and she works really well for me. Lots of worksheets and tasks, which I love. Very thorough.

I've been working with Ellie for some time now and she's been absolutely amazing! She's so caring and always is supporting and encouraging me. She's very responsive to all my messages and if I ever have a question or concern about a situation she's very detailed in analyzing and giving answers/suggestions. Never late to appointments, overall a super positive experience and I love being able to talk to her. She's the best! :)

Ellie has been wonderful in understanding my situations and giving me accurate feedback. She asks questions to get a better idea and gives praise and appreciation. I like her style and totally trust her word.
