Ellie is a graduate student in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Eastern Kentucky University with a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Kentucky. She is passionate about holding space for others—creating an environment where clients feel safe, heard, and genuinely supported as they navigate life’s challenges. Her focus areas include anxiety, depression, self-esteem, women’s issues, children, life transitions, and relationship concerns.

Ellie’s approach is client-centered, trauma-informed, and grounded in authenticity and empathy. She prioritizes building strong, trusting therapeutic relationships and uses evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness, while also considering each client’s unique emotional, cultural, and physical needs.

Ellie believes healing happens when people feel empowered and seen. Her goal is to walk alongside clients as they develop healthier coping strategies, increase self-awareness, and take steps toward meaningful change—at their own pace.

Outside of counseling, Ellie enjoys reading, shopping, watercoloring, and spending quality time with friends and family. She is a big believer in finding joy in the small moments of everyday life.
