Here at Elysian, we start right where you are.

That’s because my work is rooted in Applied Behavior Analysis and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy – a Relational Frame Theory methodology developed by a psychologist and BCBA. But what does that actually mean for our work together? 

It means that the focus isn’t clinical, merely focused on a diagnosis. It’s about hearing what’s really going on – real-time, right now, in your life – and coming up with solutions to start making changes today.

As we talk through your experiences and your story and lean into curiosity, we can look for patterns that might contribute to the challenges you’re facing. We will talk through what you value most – and then ask questions and build tools to help you move towards those values, even when you are feeling triggered by a difficult situation.

Our work together will help you to engage with emotions in healthy ways, to feel what you are feeling, but have a plan for when challenging or triggering situations arise so that you can respond in a way that aligns your day-to-day life with the big picture of your values. 

If you’re feeling stuck, and you see the distance between what you value and how you live, the most important thing you can do is choose to lean in and ask questions.

Elysian can help you to do that constructively.


“I think we have the wrong model of happiness…a values-based life of integrity and fidelity to yourself and what you most deeply want to stand for, that definition of happiness - man, that's the kind of life I want to live and I think that will support people and sustain people.”
