Elaine has really helped me along on my journey of understanding my triggers and what to do with them, how my body has held onto all my childhood experiences growing up with my family, and how it has affected me and my relationships as an adult. She truly provides a safe space and has helped me feel less critical of myself and my family as I am processing everything and understanding why I behave certain way in my relationship. Definitely reccomend her!

Elaine is an amazing neurodivergent affirming Therapist. I have been to other therapists before where I felt judged and pushing a neurotypical perspective... With Elaine she is the complete opposite! Affirms me, myself as a neurodivergent, and makes me feel completely comfortable and validated in who I am while helping me process in a way that connects with me. Very understanding and helpful for sensory processing issues. Highly reccomend!

Elaine helped me so much when I have been feeling low, anxious, with low self esteem and negative thoughts. She really is understanding and acknowledges you and helps you step by step focus on your goals and needs. I over think and my head can go on and on and she helped give me tools to use both inside and outside of session that were practical and helpful to me on a daily basis. I am starting to feel more confident in myself and she helps encourage me. She is a wonderful person and I'm glad I went to see her.

Elaine is professional, very experienced, understanding, non judgemental, and very relatable. She is amazing at connecting with you and making you feel heard and empowered in yourself. I have been struggling with my emotional responses for a while and feeling very triggered and anxious, due to my past traumatic experiences. Elaine helped me feel safe and process my emotions and experiences and I feel less triggered now, able to handle my emotions better, and overall a lot less anxiety. She is a very grounding and stable therapist and meets you where you are at. I highly recommend her as a Therapist.
