More about Ellen
- 3 years' experience

- LPC
I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor for over 30 years. My journey has allowed me to serve individuals from many walks of life with a range of concerns. I work with adults age 18 and older.
With a Master's degree in Rehabilitation Counseling, my experience has centered upon helping other's deal with unexpected life changing physical illnesses and injuries. Some situations are permanent, other temporary or recurring. Addressing the grief, depression, anxiety and anger has been a focus of need. My approach is empathetic and sensitive listening as everyone has a different response to what happens to them. I have utilized many approaches in addition to active listening such as RBT, CBT and Motivational Interviewing. I offer a safe space to talk to inspire acceptance, coping and change.
Adjustment issues of life is another area I am very comfortable with. I have worked with people struggling with relationship, job, career, household and changes related to big moves of location.
Life does not hold still for us. The changes of the last few years have been extraordinary for a large number of people. Let's talk about what's on your mind!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
