PSYCHOTHERAPY FOR MODERN RELATIONSHIP

Sometimes, one person becomes responsible for anticipating needs, keeping things organized, managing difficult conversations, and repairing disconnection. Over time, there may be less room for the other person to participate fully.
This reflective assessment invites you to explore how emotional and practical responsibility may be distributed in your relationship and what a more mutual partnership could look like.

Elise has such a calming, warm presence that aids to her knowledge and passion as a therapist. I had the pleasure of training and working alongside her and believe anyone who gets to be a client of hers is in good hands!

I had the honor of having Elise as a clinician in my group practice. Her ability to relate to her clients and make them feel seen and understood is amazing. She is a strong clinician who brings so much to her clients.

Elise is one of the most thoughtful, empathetic therapists I know. Her compassionate approach and profoun care of clients create a safe and nurturing space for healing. In short, Elise's insightful guidance is a gift, I hands! highly, highly recommend her.
