Marriage & Family Therapist, Associate

Hello, I'm Elena! 

I believe therapy is less about “fixing” you and more about understanding the conditions that have shaped you and learning to meet yourself and your life with greater acceptance, trust, and curiosity. My approach blends concepts from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, and somatic approaches. 

While we usually can't change what happens to us, what we can do is steward the life we’ve been given - to know ourselves more deeply, figure out our needs, and learn how to best care for ourselves through however much time we have on earth. I’m particularly interested in working with relationship difficulties, major life transitions (including pregnancy and the transition to parenthood), anxiety and depression, and questions of meaning and direction. I practice virtually with adolescents and adults.
