About Elise
Elise trained originally as a clinical psychologist in Brazil and holds a PhD in School and Human Development. She has worked in hospital behavioral health, outpatient clinics, neurodevelopmental assessment, and private practice. That range gives her experience with both short-term concerns and longer, more complex needs.
Her practice emphasizes evidence-based therapeutic techniques and thoughtful assessment. She uses methods that aim to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning while tailoring work to each person's strengths and situation. Sessions focus on understandable tools rather than jargon and on actions people can try between meetings.
Elise values neurodiversity-affirming and disability-informed care and collaborates with other professionals when coordination helps a person reach their goals. She has experience with interdisciplinary consultation and school-centered planning when those services are relevant.
She offers services in English and works with international clients. People who choose to work with her complete a short questionnaire first, then schedule sessions according to availability. The intake process is intended to match needs and set clear expectations for therapy.
