COURAGEOUS COMPASSION THERAPY

IMG_0181_edited_edited.jpg

HI, I'M ELLIE

I'm interested in you as whole person--mind, body and spirit. I know it takes courage to reveal ourselves. As a therapist I respect your strength and vulnerability, offering a safe, nonjudgmental environment to express your truth, explore, and heal.  

​

I work from an integrative approach that blends Internal Family Systems, somatic modalities including Somatic Experiencing and Hakomi, contemplative mindfulness, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Polyvagal theory, EMDR and the principles of memory reconsolidation. I've honed these elements into a collaborative process that supports my clients understanding of how they've learned to adaptively cope, get underneath to the root causes of suffering, and  tap into their innate wisdom and compassion as the primary sources of transformation. 

​

I would be honored to join you on your journey

“When we protect ourselves so we won't feel pain, that protection becomes like armor, like armor that imprisons the softness of of the heart.”
