Elaine is a compassionate, experienced therapist dedicated to helping individuals, couples,
and families navigate the complexities of life, relationships, and marriage with clarity and
courage. Her practice is built on the belief that therapy is one of the most powerful tools for
personal growth. A space where insight, healing, and practical change come together to
transform how you live and love.
Drawing on a comprehensive blend of traditional counseling, CBT, emotional intelligence frameworks, and relationship science including the Gottman Method. Elaine creates an approach that is as evidence-based as it is deeply human. She also integrates techniques from NLP and mindfulness, offering clients a range of tools to shift unhelpful patterns, regulate emotions, and communicate more effectively.
When working with individuals, Elaine provides a warm, non-judgmental space for self-discovery and growth, helping clients move beyond limiting beliefs and step into lives that feel meaningful and intentional. For couples, she offers a safe, structured environment to explore difficult or uncomfortable emotions, understand each other more deeply, and rebuild trust and connection.
Elaine’s mission is simple but powerful: to help people flourish, to feel emotionally stronger, more resilient, and more connected to themselves and their loved ones. Her work is guided by the philosophy that life is too precious to stay stuck, and that therapy should be a place of hope, empowerment, and lasting change.
what is counseling?
Counselling, often used interchangably with therapy, is a professional service aimed at improving mental health and well-being. Offering support, guidance and strategies to help clients explore their feelings, thoughts, beliefs and behaviors and work towards positive change and personal growth.
Counselling sessions can cover a wide range of topics but the goal remains the same – for the client to improve their overall well being and strengthen the connection to themselves and others present in their life. In this way the goal of therapy is to promote healing, personal growth, and positive change in individuals, couples, or families.
Therapy with Elaine is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in science. Rather than focusing on one single method, Elaine draws on a variety of approaches so each client gets exactly what they need.
what is the approach?
Her work combines:
- Relationship Science – Using Gottman Method Couples Therapy to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and create emotional safety.
- CBT Techniques – Helping clients recognize and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to create meaningful, lasting change.
- Emotional Intelligence Frameworks – Building self-awareness, emotional regulation, and empathy to improve relationships with self and others.
- Shifting Mindset, Strengthening Communication- Through NLP, mindfulness, visualization, and practical strategies, clients learn how to approach challenges with openness and respond in ways that create healthier patterns of connection.
This integrative approach ensures that therapy is not only insightful but also practical and transformative by giving clients the clarity and tools to make real changes in their lives.
from awareness to action
Elaine’s philosophy is simple: insight is powerful, but change happens when you know what to do next.
Her sessions are designed to guide clients through a process of real transformation. Together, they begin by identifying and understanding the patterns, triggers, and emotional needs that shape daily experiences. From there, Elaine helps clients challenge and reframe limiting beliefs or narratives that keep them stuck, opening the door to new perspectives. With this foundation, clients acquire practical skills in communication, emotional regulation, and problem-solving, equipping them to embody these tools and use them with confidence in real-life situations.
For individuals, this might mean overcoming self-doubt, healing from past experiences, or finding direction. For couples, it often means developing shared meaning, repairing past hurts, and learning to navigate conflict in a way that strengthens, rather than erodes, the relationship.
Elaine’s goal is to create a process that is safe, supportive, and productive one that steadily moves clients closer to the life and relationships they truly want.
