About

Hello, I’m Eleno. I provide a supportive, affirming, and collaborative space for individuals who are ready to engage in meaningful self-reflection and personal growth. I understand that beginning therapy can feel intimidating, and I work intentionally to create a relationship built on safety, trust, and respect. I especially enjoy working with self-motivated clients who are exploring patterns of people-pleasing, over-functioning, or prioritizing others at the expense of themselves. Many of my clients are learning how to set boundaries, reconnect with their needs, and live in ways that feel authentic and aligned with their values.

My approach is strength-based, meaning I focus on your existing resilience, insight, and capacity for change while supporting you through current challenges. In our work together, we may explore concerns related to relationships, work-life balance, stress, identity, and life transitions.

I also integrate a social justice–informed lens, recognizing how cultural, systemic, and societal factors can impact mental health, self-worth, and access to support. Whether you’re seeking relief from ongoing stress or hoping to deepen your understanding of yourself, I aim to support you in creating meaningful and sustainable change.
