I’m so glad you’re here. Reaching out for help takes a lot of courage. I'm a therapist who focuses on you. Whether you are looking for support navigating the depths of grief, untangling the complex web of trauma, or strengthening intimacy, the space is yours. I am here for you. You don't have to do this alone.
In our initial session, you can anticipate a personalized experience tailored to meet your unique needs and comfort level. We'll take the time to get to know each other, and I'll actively listen to understand your reasons for seeking therapy. Feel free to share as much or as little as you're comfortable with – this session is about you. We'll discuss your goals and expectations for therapy, ensuring that we collaboratively shape a plan that resonates with you. It's a no-pressure space where your individuality is honored, setting the tone for a meaningful and personalized therapeutic journey.
I'm like that reliable friend who's always there to listen without judgment. I've got this knack for tailoring our sessions to your vibe, making it a collaborative journey. Empathy is my middle name, and helping you discover your inner strengths and resilience is what truly lights me up. It's like supporting a friend, but with a toolkit of therapeutic goodies to make life's hurdles a bit more manageable.
I tend to often work with Millennials and Gen-Z, but I am happy to work with anyone! Everyone has a unique story to tell. It would be an honor to hear yours.

Elysse has a lot of direct experience working with the kinds of trauma that brought me to therapy. She is both kind and non-judgemental, but still helps hold me accountable for the work I'm doing on myself. She knows when to challenge and push me, while also knowing my strengths and growth areas so well. I feel very seen by Elysse and empowered to keep working on myself. She celebrates my progress with me, often reminding me when I need to give myself grace. She is amazing.
