Licensed to practice in California and accepts 20 insurances. Specializes in Grief, LGBTQ, Parenting and 2 more.
Hello! My name is Elaine and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I believe that therapy should feel like a conversation with a trusted friend—open, honest, and without pretense. With a straightforward approach and a genuine interest in understanding your unique story, I aim to create a space where you can be yourself without judgment. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, relationship challenges, or just feeling stuck, I'm here to help you navigate life's ups and downs with compassionate support. Let's work together to find the path that feels right for you. My specialties include: working with parents who have a child with special needs, LGBTQ+ issues, and grief. I know you are tired of not feeling like yourself. You deserve to start feeling good again.
Acceptance and safety is my priority. We can figure out the rest together
I tend to utilize a combination of psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques. I also have experience with behavior modification when working with parents who have a child with challenging behaviors.
My biggest strengths include meeting clients where they are, and creating a safe space for everyone who comes through my "virtual door". My priority is to make clients feel safe and comfortable. I take a more down to earth, nonjudgmental approach to help clients feel safe in sharing their experiences with me.
LGBTQ+, adults, individuals with relationship issues, victims of narcissist abuse,
