Smart, sensitive souls…it’s time to stop beating yourself up.

  • Second-guess yourself

  • Can’t turn off your thoughts

  • Struggle to act decisively

  • Doubt that you’re enough

  • Beat yourself up

  • Downplay and minimize the positives

  • Think you’re too sensitive

  • Get super discouraged

  • Are easily overwhelmed

  • Feel drained and exhausted

  • Have lost your motivation and drive

  • Just go through the motions of life

I see you.

Hi, I’m Elisa.

You’ve accomplished a lot, but still aren’t that sure of yourself. You’ve got high standards and your inner critic always lets you know when you fall short. It's hard to get out of your head - and overthinking, worry and dread pulls you under.

I offer specialized therapy for thinkers, feelers and doers who take on a lot…but end up on the hamster wheel of anxiety, self-doubt and burnout. My individualized approach will help you get unstuck, tap into what’s possible, and find a peace that will surprise you.

This is a space where you can show up as you are - without judgment - as we tend to the parts of you that are in need of healing and relief.

Let's talk in a complimentary consultation about how my unique style of therapy can help you connect with your calmer, confident and more creative self.


AS FEATURED IN

I’ll help you heal.

 
  • Soothe your mind and feel more confident in your ability to handle life. Whether it’s work stress, fearful thinking, panic or anxious overwhelm, as an anxiety specialist I can help you find the peace of mind that’s felt sooo out of reach!

  • Does it feel like your self-worth depends on how well you do or how much others approve of you? You feel okay about yourself as long as you're getting plenty of external validation…but the moment you mess up or feel like others aren’t happy with you, you beat yourself up.

    I’m an "inner critic whisperer" who knows how to skillfully and compassionately work with the chronic self-criticism that has weighs you down. My clients have reported feeling much more confident about themselves and their worth, with a newfound sense of self-compassion and inner kindness.

    If you're weary of the self-judgment and want the freedom and support that comes from a secure sense of self esteem...let's talk about how my therapy therapy approach can turn things around for you!

  • You’re overworked, overloaded - and so OVER IT. Calm your stress, build your resilience and be more engaged with the life you truly want to live. Learn more about how I can help you re-connect with a revitalized, re-energized you.

How therapy with me works

3 steps to relief and change:

  • The therapy relationship is a deeply personal one. You need to feel comfortable with the person you are entrusting with your stuff! Do they have the skill and expertise to effectively help your kinds of challenges? Are they willing to meet you exactly where you're at with an attuned respect for your individual wants and needs?

    I offer a full 30-minute consultation so you can decide if I might be a who you're looking for. If it's not me, that’s okay! It's important that you have a right-fit therapist and I'm happy to provide referrals of people who I think could help.

  • We’ll meet regularly to focus on ways to unburden and empower you. We’ll explore practical tools you can use both in and out of session, as well as heal the root issues that are standing between you and meaningful change.

  • You’ll feel more grounded and peaceful, have more clarity and be better able to handle the challenges of life as you connect with your healthy, healed self. There's magic here waiting for you!

 

Let’s find the “you” that's underneath the rubble.
