“You’ve seen my descent, now watch me rise”
Elise believes that everyone can benefit from counseling. Either by learning new skills, processing past experiences, or gaining self-confidence.
For many, challenges can be an required for change and growth. For others, it can create roadblocks. Often recognizing that you are at an impasse can be the key to opening yourself up to life’s possibilities. Emotional vulnerabilities, self-doubt, circular thinking, and recurring negative and judgmental thoughts can all be overcome when one feels understood and accepted with validation, insight, and guidance. Elise helps her clients explore concerns, develop new skill sets, and implement realistic strategies for positive change in one’s life choices to promote their overall well-being.
With over 8 years of experience and specialized training working with individuals in a variety of settings, Elise understands that with the right support system and therapeutic approach, one can discover patterns and overcome their roadblocks and challenges throughout their life. As a mental health professional Elise utilizes an integrated approach that incorporates Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, and Motivational Interviewing Therapy techniques to tailor each session to the clients individual needs.
