Hi, I'm Elise. I'm excited to learn about you and understand what needs aren't currently being met. Providing a comfortable, nonjudgmental, and empathic environment for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and longings is of utmost importance to me. From there, we can accept where you are and create steps towards growth. I am a licensed professional counselor currently but started as a foster care caseworker and family therapist.
I believe problems often stem from unmet core needs. I'm passionate about helping you evaluate current techniques and discover more effective methods. I've seen significant healing when clients become self-aware of their triggers and understand how these cloud perception and affect relationships.
In our first session, I'll ask you to share what motivated you to invest time in counseling. I aim to gather a broad overview of what you're looking to explore, learn, or change. We'll finish by creating one or two goals we can work on together.
