If you find yourself regularly battling a harsh inner critic, or feeling like you are on the verge of burnout (or there already), I can help. You have made it. From the outside, no one would suspect that you are dealing with imposter syndrome or waking up in the middle of the night plagued with anxiety, wondering how you are going to manage it all.
No one would know that you, the one who looks like they have it all together, can barely get out of bed on some days, and struggles with bouts of depression. No one would know how hard you are on yourself, and that the kindness you offer to others, feels so far from what you have to offer yourself.

Services
I have additional training in AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) and EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) and blend those approaches into my work. Additionally, my work is inspired by Brene Brown's research on courage, vulnerability and shame, and Kristin Neff's research on self-compassion.
For my clients, I provide either a one-time consultation, brief therapy, or long-term psychotherapy using an integrative theoretical approach. Additionally, I offer online therapy sessions for clients living in the state of California. My work with couples is informed by the principles of EFT (Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy), which emphasizes the attachment bond between partners.

I have intimately known Elena's work since 2010 when we trained together at Ann Martin Center. She is incredibly warm and heart-centered and truly cares about the clients she works with. She has a way of powerfully but gently identifying both her clients' struggles and their strengths in ways that allow her clients to feel known and make huge progress and change in their lives.
Elena has a specific gift with successful, ambitious women who seem to have it all together on the surface, but who with struggle with covert anxiety and/or depression. She is supportive in helping these women feel safe
