Hello! I'm Elissa (she/her), a mental health therapist who helps women navigate the many seasons of life - from life transitions, career crossroads and fertility journeys to parenting challenges, perimenopause, health challenges and everything in between. I hold a Master in Social Work from the University of Washington and am trained in evidence based approaches that help people to process trauma and reduce anxiety such as EMDR, CPT, CBT and ACT.
I'm passionate about this work because I know these approaches can truly help people feel better. I know therapy can be both a relief and a little intimidating at first. My goal is to offer a safe space where you can show up as yourself. We'll have some honest conversations (and use some humor) and support you in moving towards the life you want to have.
In our first few sessions, we'll get to know you - what matters most, what's been hard, and what you're hoping for. Together, we'll create a roadmap for therapy that feels personalized and achievable. I use an integrative, evidence-based approach and we decide what best resonates with you and your values. EMDR, CBT, ACT and CPT are some of the tools I use.
