Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Draper, UT

I'm interested in helping you become your best, authentic self - whatever that looks like! Therapy is about relationships -- the relationship between therapist and client as well as the relationship the client has with themselves and others. My goal as a therapist is for you to feel seen, heard, and understood and to take that capacity and generalize it throughout your lived experience. As a therapist, I examine your memories, perceptions, and presence to paint a vibrant picture of who you are.

Hi, I’m Elaine! I’m a Clinical Mental Health Counselor who works with adults, couples, and military families navigating life’s ups and downs. I have a Bachelors of Science in Psychology, and a Masters of Science in Marriage, Couples and Family Counseling with an addendum of Crisis and Trauma Counseling.

Many of my clients come to me struggling with relationship challenges (like communication struggles, Parenting conflicts and infidelity), trauma, PTSD, anxiety, or depression—feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward. My goal is to help you feel supported, understood, and equipped to create the changes you want in your life

I’m a trauma‐informed therapist who believes healing doesn’t require perfection—just honesty, compassion, and a willingness to take the next small step. Most of the people I work with are balancing careers, relationships, parenting, and the invisible emotional load that comes with everyday life. They’re strong, capable, and exhausted from carrying more than anyone realizes.

Clients often tell me they appreciate that I’m real, relatable, and not the kind of therapist who just nods silently. I show up fully. I help you connect the dots. And I hold space for the parts of you that have been working so hard for so long.

If you’re looking for a therapist who understands the realities of everyday life and offers nonjudgemental compassionate support, I’d be honored to work with you.

I have been working in the Mental Health field for over 20 years in various roles. I have my LCSW and work in trauma.

I’m a Master’s-level social worker with a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with evidence-based, compassionate care. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Utah Valley University and my Master’s degree in Social Work from University of Utah.

My clinical experience spans community mental health, nonprofit settings, residential treatment, and group practice, giving me a well-rounded perspective in supporting diverse populations across different levels of care.

Welcome to therapy, let's get to work! I believe everyone deserves good therapy and I'm here to provide the guidance and structure needed to make lasting change in your life. I received my Masters in Social Work from the University of Utah in 2020 and have been working in the mental health field for over 10 years. I have specialized training in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (a sister approach to EMDR) for trauma treatment. If you visit me in office, you will get to meet my therapy dog, Java, who is always ready for a chat and snuggle.
