Meet Ellen
Hello!
I’m Ellen, a Licensed Professional Counselor providing holistic, trauma-informed care rooted in compassion, curiosity, and safety.
Originally from the Midwest, I built my private practice here in the South to support individuals and communities seeking accessible, secular, and affirming mental health care.
Education
MA in Psychology, University of Indianapolis
BS in Psychology, University of Indianapolis
My Experience
I began my career working with children in an inner-city school, where I saw firsthand how chronic stress impacts development, relationships, and overall health. That work sparked my passion for understanding trauma and supporting people through healing.
Working with children naturally expanded my view. I began to see how communities, workplaces, and families carry their own stress patterns. That led me to develop group workshops, corporate trainings, and community-focused wellness programs.
