Joining us in June! Ella earned her Master's degree in Counseling Psychology from Northeastern University with a specialization in youth and adolescents. Her extensive experience working with K-12 individuals has given her a strong, comfortable approach with younger clients, though she welcomes individuals of all ages and backgrounds. Ella brings a person-centered approach to therapy, integrating evidence-based practices with each client's lived experiences. She recognizes that therapy is never one-size-fits-all and values collaboration to discover which therapeutic modality works best for each person. While she has specific training in CBT and ACT, she's committed to continuously expanding her clinical toolkit. Ella has relevant experience treating anxiety, trauma, depression, ADHD, anger management, interpersonal distress, and identity development. Beyond traditional talk therapy, she enjoys incorporating play and art-based approaches to meet clients where they are. Diversity and inclusion are core values for her. All individuals and backgrounds are welcomed and safe in her sessions. Ella believes that while therapy may not create a perfect life, it can create one that allows you to live well. In her free time, she enjoys reading, weightlifting, and spending time with her cat. Request an Appointment
