About Me
I’m Dr. Elena, a Clinical Psychologist with a deep commitment to helping individuals find clarity, healing, and resilience. My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, with a strong focus on building trust and creating a safe, nonjudgmental space for growth.
With over a decade of experience, I specialize in supporting adults navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and emotional regulation. I integrate cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and trauma-informed care into my sessions, tailoring each plan to meet the unique needs of every client.
What drives my work is the belief that peace of mind isn’t just possible—it’s a process we can walk through together. I view therapy as a collaborative journey, and I’m honored to support each step toward greater self-awareness, connection, and healing.
