Hi- I’m Ellen and I’m a clinical social worker with expertise in maternal mental health, birth trauma, and pregnancy/infant loss. I’ve worked with moms and families throughout my career, and I also know firsthand how stressful parenting can be in today’s world! Pregnancy and postpartum are such vulnerable times in life and unfortunately it can be hard to find places to share your feelings and experiences without fear of being dismissed or judged. For this reason, it’s my mission to create a space in therapy where you are welcomed just as you are: depressed, anxious, tearful, grieving, overwhelmed, or struggling with relationships.

We will work together to process what you are going through, regulate, and find a renewed sense of well-being in this chapter of your life. I work with individuals and couples using elements of CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), mindfulness, and EFT (Emotion-Focused Therapy) and I look forward to working with you!

I am in-network with Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, CareFirst Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Tricare Select, and United Healthcare. If you choose to opt-out of using your medical insurance, my private pay rate is $175 per session.
