“To me, Elena’s superpower is presence. She models how to truly be present with our humanity, our discomfort, with our uncertainty, with strangers that we hope will become our community.”

 —Janine de Novais

“I had the great good fortune of having Elena accompany me through grief work over twelve weekly sessions in 2023-2024. Our initial consultation was candid, open, spacious + transparent, which set the stage for therapeutic work at a depth I hadn't experienced before. 

Doing this work with Elena helped me see how enlivening my grief is + how it touches every aspect of my life. I've done a lot of psychotherapy, + this grief work with Elena was the first time I've been able to bring my whole self—including structural/cultural/socio-political issues—into deep emotional/relational work.”
