About
Elli is a cisgender, queer and uninvited settler on the unceded, traditional lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Səl̓ílwətaʔ (Tsleil-Waututh), and Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) Nations of the Coast Salish peoples. She enters the counselling profession after almost two decades of working as an RMT with a focus on supporting clients through complex health issues, cancer treatment and post-surgical recovery. She is experienced in supporting clients and their caretakers dealing with systemic conditions, such as chronic pain and fatigue or other chronic health issues.
Elli aims to help clients better understand their stories within a framework honouring cultural diversity and enduring race, gender, ethnicity, and class-based power structures. Special areas of interest include but are not limited to, medical/religious trauma, eco/global anxiety, anger, grief, and the destructive impact of neo-liberalism on our mental health and communities.
Elli's approach aims to be de-pathologizing, non-judgmental, and collaborative, and it honours the fact that all parts of our story matter and deserve to be valued and heard. Elli is particularly interested in exploring sessions through a relational, strength-based and narrative lens. Her counselling style is compassionate, accepting, open-minded, and direct, and she strives to assist clients in tapping into their own skills and knowledge.
