About Elaine

Hi, I'm Elaine. I work with people carrying grief, including the complicated kind that follows a suicide loss. I also work with people who feel stuck in their relationships, whether that's a pattern of pursuing a partner who keeps pulling away, untangling what ADHD is doing to a relationship, or recovering from a boss or workplace that left them doubting themselves. I also work with entrepreneurs who are burnt out and tired of the financial rollercoaster. Many of the people I work with look like they have it together. And in many ways, they do. But privately, they're exhausted and lonely. They've spent so long managing other people's moods, at work or at home, choosing their words carefully, and shrinking themselves to keep the peace that they've lost touch with who they actually are underneath all of that. They might be surrounded by people and still feel profoundly alone, unseen in the relationships that are supposed to matter most. And underneath everything, there's a fear they don't always say out loud: that this is just how it will always be, and that they'll end up alone. Before I became a therapist, I spent twenty years as an entrepreneur while navigating burnout, financial pressure, losing a family member to suicide, and becoming a wife and mother in my 40s. I know what it means to keep going when life is heavy, and I know what it looks like from the inside of a workplace when the person running it isn't well. My approach is attachment-based and trauma-informed, with additional training in Trauma of Money, Timeline Therapy, and Hypnotherapy. Sessions are conversational and about understanding the patterns you're ready to stop repeating. Sliding scale is available.
