Helping People Find Therapists & Advocating for Ethical and Healthy Therapy & Marriage Counseling Practices

My Approach to Helping

Are old patterns holding you back? Do you just want to feel happier? Do stress and anxiety have a grip on you? In her work with individuals, couples, and elders, Ellen focuses on helping clients identify, explore, and resolve difficulties faced in relationships, jobs, school, parenting, and life transitions such as divorce and aging. She works in partnership with clients to help them explore, change, and grow to achieve outcomes identified during the therapy process. Her approach is eclectic using a combination of intensive short-term cognitive/behavioral, and psychodynamic insight-oriented therapies depending on the needs of the client.

Ellen has a track record of helping people navigate through life transitions such as career exploration, parenting, and aging.
