Currently Accepting New Clients!
I’m Elise
I work with couples in Greenville, SC to create clarity and ease in their relationships and lives. Creating a safe therapeutic space for my clients is my top priority. I help couples to strengthen their connection, improve communication, and deepen their intimacy.
Couples Work
You might be feeling exhausted from trying again and again to improve your relationship. Maybe you feel as if you and your partner have the same arguments … same conversations over and over again. You might feel like you are burning out. The fun and enjoyable moments may be tainted by the painful ones. You are craving a relationship that feels good. Emotionally Focused Therapy is an evidence based treatment model that truly changes interactions at the core level. This trusted process helps people get out of their heads and into their emotions which results in a deeper level of connection that solidifies the bond you have to one another.
Therapy provides the experience of an unbiased third party professional to help navigate conversations and guide your relationship into a different way of being. Therapy is collaborative - everyone in the room is equally important and valued.
One of my areas of focus is working with couple systems in which one or both individuals are physicians / medical providers. Working a demanding job, particularly in medicine, directly impacts the couple relationship. As we work on the relationship, we also acknowledge any vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, and overall burnout that impacts both the individual and the relationship. Equally important is our work in recognizing and validating the supporting partner who makes significant sacrifices as well that result from being partnered with someone in a demanding position.
I work to create a protected space for all people, including those who hold identities that differ from mine. While I identify as a white, cisgender, heteronormative female - I realize that a good portion of the clients-to-be who visit this website are not. If you identify as a person of color, LGBTQIA+, or are differently-abled than I am - I want you to know I recognize my own privileges and biases, and I am committed to a lifetime of education and growth.
