About Me

Hi. I’m Elena (she/her/hers), a depth-oriented psychotherapist based in Portland Oregon, and I’m so glad you’re here. 

I came to this work via my own personal therapy, which was so impactful to me that I eventually changed careers to become a therapist myself. 

I earned a master's degree in Counseling Psychology with a specialization in Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. Having the opportunity to now support others with skill and compassion is very meaningful to me. I love what I do.

Outside of my practice, my family grounds me, including three precious cats. Making things by hand and reading (both scholarly works and fiction) are important parts of my life that inform my work and my ongoing relationship to the psyche. 

If you feel a pull to work with me or have questions, you can contact me to set up a free initial call. I’m happy to let you get a feel for my way of being with you.
