COURAGEOUS COMPASSION THERAPY

HI, I'M ELLIE
​I work from an integrative approach that utilizes mindfulness as the experiential through line, blending somatic modalities including elements of Hakomi and Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Polyvagal theory, positive psychology, Buddhist teachings, Attachment Focused 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 body, innate wisdom, and compassion as the primary sources of transformation.
​
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 yourself authentically, explore, and heal.
​
I would be honored to join you on your journey
