Ellie is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina National Certified Counselor (NCC). She received a Masters of Arts in Clinical and Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University and is trained in EMDR therapy.

She does not believe there is a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. She adopts a collaborative approach to treatment taking into account the unique life experiences and circumstances of each individual. She works closely with her clients to determine goals for therapy and strategies for achieving those goals. Ellie uses an eclectic approach tailored to the specific needs of each client, but she primarily draws from psychodynamic, existential, CBT, multicultural and mindfulness practices alongside Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy.

Ellie works with individuals ages 16 and up, families, couples and older adults. She has experience working with clients from a broad range of backgrounds facing a variety of issues but focuses primarily on trauma, anxiety, depression, and couples work.

Outside of work, Ellie enjoys rock climbing, playing trivia, jamming out to musical theater and bluegrass, traveling to visit friends and family, and just being outside in any capacity!
