A different approach to a more balanced life

Life really can get better!

If traditional therapy hasn’t worked for you, my approach is different. I specialize in helping those with (C)PTSD and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) break free from emotional pain, build stability, and create healthier relationships.

Using evidence-based treatments like DBT, EMDR, Brainspotting, and Somatic therapy, I offer direct, compassionate support that delivers real, measurable progress. You’ll work on managing intense emotions, reducing impulsivity, and improving relationships, with noticeable improvements each week.

You’ll gain the tools to manage emotional pain, develop healthy coping strategies, and create lasting change.

With the right support, you can overcome the challenges of trauma and BPD and rebuild your life.

about me
Hi, I'm Elle.

I know what it feels like to be overwhelmed, to struggle with negative self-talk, and to be triggered easily. Through navigating my own journey of recovery from childhood trauma and challenges with substance use, I’ve learned how to be present with my emotions, heal from tremendous pain and grief, and build a better life. I know recovery is possible because I’ve lived it.

Now I focus on guiding my clients along their own healing journeys. Through 15+ years of clinical training and practice, I’ve developed a wide variety of tools to help my clients overcome their painful pasts, let go of old habits, and build lives that bring them joy and fulfillment. I use a combination of DBT, psychodynamic, and somatic techniques, including EMDR, to help my clients transform their pain into powerful healing that supports them in creating the lives they want.
