When life seems overwhelming, sometimes the most important thing is knowing you aren't alone. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly 10 years of experience providing therapy for adults, teens, and couples. I specialize in helping people recover from trauma and use a variety of techniques including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Trauma-Focused CBT, and parts work. I also specialize in working with teens and young adults as they navigate challenging life transitions. I am currently accepting a limited number of new clients.

I believe that you are the expert when it comes to your needs and goals for therapy. I use a strengths-based approach that encourages you to access the abilities and resources you have to promote healing. I have experience working with multiple concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma including sexual trauma and domestic violence. I believe in the importance of understanding and addressing the impact of inequity and intersectionality on mental health and approach my work from this framework. Currently I am providing telehealth (video) sessions for California residents. I look forward to the opportunity to partner with you to achieve your goals for your mental health.

Hi, I'm Elaine. I became a therapist in part because of my lived experience with physical disability/chronic pain/chronic illness. I am passionate about the work I do to support individuals experiencing the hardships and suffering of disability and dismantling the oppression experienced from society. I strongly believe in creating a safe, warm, and compassionate space for you to show up authentically and receive the attunement and support that you deserve.

I am a collaborative therapist and use psychodynamic, narrative, trauma-informed, mindfulness, EMDR, and somatic therapy approaches to help support individual needs. I use Pain Reprocessing Therapy to help develop the mindbody connection and help with chronic pain.

I am thoughtful and kind, passionate about bringing people to a newfound perspective about themselves and what they’re bringing to therapy. I will bring you empowerment, awareness, and capability through ideas, experiments, and insights. I am excited to get to know you deeply as a human being, and share moments of realization about how parts of your life and self link together to explain what you’re going through now. Our exploration will be conscious of how environmental and structural forces influence and shape you, as well as how we relate to one another. I received training in Disability-Affirmative Therapy.

As an EMDR therapist, I've published peer-reviewed research and presented at industry conferences. This specialized technique is just one of the tools I can use to support your healing journey, alongside psychodynamic insight work, cognitive-behavioral strategies to implement change, and mindfulness-based coping and grounding techniques. I identify as a white, Jewish, cisgender male who works to be antiracist, antipatriarchal, trans-affirming, and LGBTQ+-affirming. I welcome all identities to therapy, and particularly work to support LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and disabled persons. Whether you're from the trans, poly, or nonbinary community, or navigating trauma, ADHD, and other life challenges, you'll find a safe and affirming space here.
