Hi there, I'm Elena! Hi! I'm here to help you have the life you want, as sometimes life becomes challenging, and adjusting to life changes isn't always easy. I am glad that you prioritize your needs by coming here for help. I am Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I began therapy practice during my MA Program at JFKU in CA. For over 10 years, I've worked in various settings, including not-for-profit mental health agencies and private practice. I believe that treatment is a collaborative approach. I look forward to taking the journey of healing with you. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back.
In our first session I will introduce therapy structure and expectations; explore client's presenting problem, support client with emotional needs, answer client's questions
My strengths in professional fields are meeting the client where they are in the time being; attunement to the client's internal experience with empathy, compassion and support; educating the client about their diagnosis and installing hope for healing and beliefs that positive change and personal growth is possible
I enjoy to work with clients who are ready for change in their life as well as motivated to do their part of treatment plan
