About Elliot

Exploring who you are and where you belong can feel exciting, uncertain, and sometimes isolating. I am a queer and transgender counselor-in-training completing my master’s degree at Northwestern University. I am especially passionate about supporting adolescents and emerging adults as they navigate identity, relationships, and meaningful life transitions.

My approach integrates psychodynamic, person-centered, cognitive behavioral, mindfulness-based, and attachment-based frameworks through feminist and multicultural perspectives. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, gender identity, or LGBTQIA+ concerns, I strive to create a space where your experiences are welcomed and respected. Our conversations will make room for difficult emotions alongside your strengths, hopes, and possibilities.

My own experiences of identity exploration have deepened my appreciation for connection and belonging. I value sessions that feel like real conversations, where you can bring uncertainty, ask questions, and explore what matters to you. Together, we will acknowledge your progress and support growth that honors who you are.
