Hi! I'm Elena

25+ years of experience working in mental health

Choosing a therapist who truly understands your journey is essential. With 27 years of experience in mental health, I work with individuals navigating grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, and other mental health issues. I use an existential approach, which means we’ll explore the deeper questions that life brings—those related to purpose, identity, and meaning—especially in times of change. As a psychodynamic therapist, I integrate this existential perspective with holistic practices from my background as a certified yoga instructor and daily meditator. This blend helps you connect with yourself on a profound level, balancing the insights we uncover with tools for grounding and inner peace. Beyond the therapy room, I’m an avid traveler, animal lover, and passionate reader, which fuels my curiosity and empathy. These life experiences enrich my practice, bringing warmth and openness to each session. If you’re looking for a therapist who brings both depth and compassion to support you, I would be honored to be part of your journey. Together, we’ll explore your story, find resilience, and create a path that feels meaningful and true to you.

Psychodynamic Therapy

As a psychodynamic psychotherapist, I offer a holistic and inclusive approach to therapy, combining deep insight into unconscious influences with practical techniques from various modalities. My practice is informed by somatic approaches, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), and polyvagal techniques to address your unique needs.

I am dedicated to creating a culturally competent and inclusive space, respecting and honoring your diverse background and experiences. Whether you’re dealing with grief, self-worth issues, relationship challenges, or complex mental health concerns, my goal is to support your healing journey with empathy and expertise.

Grief Coaching

As an experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist and a certified grief educator trained with David Kessler, I’m dedicated to providing compassionate and personalized therapy to help you navigate life’s challenges.

I offer one-on-one grief coaching and a ten-week grief support group, designed to provide a supportive space where you can share, process your loss, and find healing. Whether you’re seeking individual guidance or a community of support, I am here to help you explore your emotions, make meaningful progress, and build resilience.

If you’re looking for a safe and understanding environment to support your journey, I invite you to reach out and learn more about how I can assist you. Let’s work together to find the path to healing and growth that works best for you.
