Hi! My name is Ella, and my approach to therapy begins and ends with the belief that the answers to your struggles lie within you. My approach as a counselor is collaborative, person-centered, and holistic. You are the expert on you, and I am there to shine a light, ask good questions, hold space as you seek answers to those questions (and your own), and offer tools to lighten the load.

I believe that the work of therapy is to help you hear yourself and the language of your body more clearly. Should you choose to invite me into your healing journey, our work will center on exploring needs, values, authenticity. In doing so, my goal as your counselor is to support your ability to act in greater alignment with those things as you cultivate self- trust. I am trained in Somatic Experiencing and Brainspotting. I also utilize aspects of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and operate from an IFS Informed and trauma informed perspective.

My hope as a counselor is that as you grow, your inner wisdom offers clarity in the tough moments and that, through counseling, you have greater capacity to listen to that wisdom and respond in alignment with your values. Life is difficult and the experiences we have along the way can often impact our ability to see ourselves clearly. It doesn’t have to stay that way. If you’re ready to step into the work of counseling, I would be honored to walk with you on that journey.
