Our lives are full of nuanced experiences, hardships, and relationships that shape us and challenge us. I believe that therapy creates a space where we can address these topics without judgment, gaining insight as to why they might be holding us back. Therapy can also be a way to remember we are not alone — the human experience is complex and weighted, but connection alone can help us begin a path towards an enlightened life.

My name is Elise, and I am receiving my M.A. and M.Ed. in Psychological Counseling, Mental Health Counseling at Teachers College, Columbia University. I hope to use techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, meditation practices, and more to address your concerns and tailor a plan specific to you, your identities, and your goals. Most importantly, my goal as a therapist is to create a compassionate and attentive environment through emphasizing your strengths, achievements, and centering treatment around you.

I feel honored to be on this journey with you where we can learn and grow together. I am always open to feedback and prioritize self-reflection as a way to constantly improve my ability as a therapist. I trust that by working together towards a common goal, we can increase self-awareness, self-love, and overall well-being.
