She frequently works with LGBTQ+ individuals, neurodivergent clients, and those coping with school-related difficulties or life transitions. Her integrative, person-centered approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness strategies, and Exposure Therapy, allowing her to tailor each session to her clients’ unique goals and needs. Ellie received a Master of Science in Education (MSE) in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Dayton and previously attended Butler University, where she received a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in Psychology and French with a minor in Education.

A dedicated advocate for holistic mental health, Ellie takes special interest in working with individuals managing gender identity exploration, grief, and sleep difficulties. She believes in empowering clients to embrace their authentic selves, process difficult emotions, and implement practical coping tools to improve their daily functioning and overall well-being.

Outside of her clinical work, Ellie enjoys spending time outdoors, traveling to new destinations, and discovering new restaurants. A passionate animal lover, she delights in connecting with clients over stories (and photos) of their beloved pets. When not exploring nature or her favorite local spots, Ellie can often be found working on sewing projects or relaxing with a good book.
