About me
Hi, I’m Elise and I am a licensed clinical counsellor trained and educated in the US. For over a decade, I dedicated my life in Philadelphia to counselling individuals in a community mental health organisation. In 2021 I began living abroad in Brussels, then Berlin and now Copenhagen. Since becoming an expat myself, I’ve worked with organisations devoted to counselling those who live away from their home countries.
I have the privilege in my career of working with diverse populations. My specialisations include those living with and affected by chronic or terminal illnesses, people with substance concerns and the LGBTQIA+ community. I've also developed experience working with health anxiety and communication difficulties. Through this work, I have honed my skills in cognitive behavioural techniques and motivational interviewing. These techniques form the foundation of my practice, empowering you to make desired behavioural changes and gain mental clarity.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.
Nonviolent CommunicationRecommended for those who want to improve communication and to regulate conflicts by learning how to express their feelings and needs and listening to other’s.
My approach is inherently client-centered. It is a collaborative, empathetic, and goal-oriented process that enhances your self-discovery journey. We will delve deep into your thoughts and feelings, uncovering the motivations and desires driving your actions. We will work to re-frame your thoughts and life experiences so they empower you and not hold you back. This will help you recognize and overcome obstacles and foster self-efficacy - your belief in your ability to affect positive change.
Through our collaborative work, you will not only gain a deeper understanding of yourself but also develop the skills and confidence to navigate life's journey. Together we will celebrate your victories and navigate the setbacks.
