More about Elle

  • 23 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

After over 20 years of experience working with clients, I have come to view myself as my clients' guide through the emotional landscape of their lives. I am dedicated to providing my clients with a comfortable, safe, non-judgmental, therapeutic environment in which they can explore their thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Together we form a partnership to determine the direction required for a client's healing, healthy emotional growth, and successful life functioning. Client's value my down to earth and easy to talk to style, free of intimidation and judgment.

I specialize in working with clients eighteen years and older. I am a generalist in my practice and use an eclectic approach to provide clients with a customized therapeutic experience. I have worked with clients on a variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, ADD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, etc.

In addition to being a licensed professional counselor, I’m also a creative, forward-thinking, open-minded person. I enjoy yoga & creating custom beaded jewelry in my free time, as well as many other activities in the artistic realm. I will respond to all inquiries within 48 hours. Let me know how you’d prefer to be contacted (via phone, email, or text.).

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
