Most of her clients are highly functional. Many are very successful in their careers or academically, but struggle with dealing with job stress or other relationships that are important to them. Elise is particularly sensitive to clients facing difficulties with their work-life balance, or life transitions, like a job loss, a breakup, or a new medical illness where symptoms of anxiety, depression, and self-doubt can come about maybe even for the first time.

Elise's approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, an evidence-based approach that focuses on helping clients understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected, so that they can begin to make targeted change. She works to help clients understand their physical response to external stressors, and begin to problem-solve ways to introduce moments of calm, to choose to respond rather than react in the face of change.
