Hello, and welcome to my practice. I'm Dr. Elliott. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with over 20 years of experience helping individuals heal from trauma, anxiety, depression, burnout, and life transitions. I am also a counselor educator and professor of counseling, and I specialize in working with therapists, healers, and other helping professionals who are navigating burnout, compassion fatigue, or personal challenges.
My approach is holistic, trauma-informed, and rooted in family systems therapy. I integrate somatic practices, mindfulness, and spiritual perspectives to help clients understand how past experiences and intergenerational patterns may be influencing their present lives. Together we work to process unresolved trauma, shift limiting beliefs, and develop healthier emotional and relational patterns.
Many of my clients are thoughtful, self-aware individuals who are seeking deeper healing and personal growth. I strive to create a supportive space where you can explore your experiences, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with a stronger sense of clarity, balance, and purpose in your life.
When appropriate I can also bring a Native American lens to the treatment as I am Native and have been involved in ceremonial life for over 30 years.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, so our first session is designed to be supportive and comfortable. We will spend time getting to know one another and talking about what has been bringing you to therapy at this point in your life. You are welcome to share as much or as little as you feel ready for.
Together, we will begin identifying the areas you would like support with and explore possible paths forward. With over 20 years of experience as a therapist and counselor educator, I am able to help clients gently and efficiently begin understanding the patterns that may be contributing to stress, anxiety, trauma, or burnout.
My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, supported, and hopeful about the work we can do together.
