COURAGEOUS COMPASSION THERAPY

HI, I'M ELLIE
I work from an integrative approach that utilizes mindfulness as the experiential through line, blending several modalities including Hakomi, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Attachment Focused EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, Positive Psychology, Polyvagal Theory, and Buddhist teachings. I've honed these elements into a collaborative process that supports a greater sense of wellbeing, deep insight, and transformation. Together we will discover how you developed your adaptive coping strategies, get underneath to the root causes of suffering, and tap into your body, innate wisdom, and compassion as the primary sources of healing.
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 space to express yourself authentically, explore, and heal.
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.”
