Elaine has guided me through dealing with stress, trauma from the past, and my fight, flight, or freeze responses through our counseling sessions and then with follow up things to do between our sessions. She seems to pinpoint exactly what I’m experiencing and will suggest a technique that helps do much. I am so blessed to have Elaine as my therapist. With her I’ve made so much progress in healing.
