Gender Identity: female

Short Biography

Hi, I’m Elisa. My approach to therapy starts with a simple belief: people make sense. The ways you think, feel, and cope didn’t come out of nowhere, they developed in response to your experiences, relationships, training environments, and systems you’ve had to move through. I work from a non-pathologizing lens, helping you build a compassionate, contextual understanding of yourself and your history. Rather than seeing symptoms or behaviors as problems to eliminate, I view them as self-protective strategies. They are tools that may have once been necessary for survival, performance, or belonging, even if they no longer serve who you want to be now.
