Ellen earned her Masters in Counseling in Family and Marriage Therapy from California State University, Fullerton. Her background is in working with teens and families in crisis using a systems approach to problem solve and create positive change.
Her passion for mental health stems from her belief in the healing power of nature, community, and animals. While instructing for Outward Bound and spending weeks outdoors with adolescents and young people, she recognized her passion and desire to help people embrace and alchemize life’s challenges into strengthening and growing experiences from which to move forward through this wild journey of being human. Together, we can find ways to create a more satisfying life and move through the world with a little bit more joy each day.
