Empowering women is my life's greatest passion. While my training encompasses multiple therapeutic modalities, I deeply value the power of storytelling and shared experiences among women. I believe in fostering spaces where we can be unapologetically ourselves, free from societal stereotypes, and engage in open, honest dialogue.

About ellen

life has presented me with significant challenges, even from a young age

we live the same journey

From the tender age of 15, life presented me with significant challenges, including battling depression.
Reflecting on my younger years through the lens of my poetry and journals, it's evident that my
struggles were deeply ingrained long before I sought help at 40. Yet, these experiences have shaped the resilient, empathetic person I am today.

I've navigated the complexities of life, including a 17-year marriage and a subsequent messy divorce.
My two grown children, a son and a daughter, are the centers of my universe. Alongside them, my princess dog Chloe and a circle of incredible friends enrich my life immeasurably.
