Services
Individual Therapy
Elaina uses a systemic approach to conceptualize how each client’s environment impacts them. She uses Brainspotting and trauma-informed methodology to help clients more easily carry their experiences. Additionally, her clients learn simple, practical ways to process intense emotion and dysregulation so they can more easily move through their daily lives. She believes that insight is a key ingredient to change, and that each client is capable of reaching greater understanding of themselves and others.
Couples Therapy
Each individual comes into a relationship with their own complex history and intersectionality. Elaina has a passion for helping couple’s use their knowledge of each other to see new perspectives and reach greater understanding. She uses Gottman-style therapy and trauma-informed practices to improve methods of communication and heal past wounds. All family configurations are welcome.
Gottman Couple's Therapy
The Gottman Institute encompasses the life work of Drs. John and Julie Gottman. Their approach to relational health has been developed from over 50 years of research with more than 3,000 couples: the most extensive study ever done on marital stability. This therapy provides clinically-backed relational interventions that identify core issues, promote understanding, and facilitate repair. <www.thegottmaninstitute.com>
Brainspotting
“Where you look affects how you feel.” Brainspotting uses this natural phenomenon to locate, focus, process, and release a wide range of emotionally and bodily-based conditions. This therapy taps into and harnesses the body’s inherent self-scanning, self-healing ability, and can be used to find and strengthen our natural resources and resilience. <www.brainspotting.com>
