Welcome! I'm Ellen. ​ I am passionate about supporting women in navigating the joys and challenges of pregnancy, motherhood, and life. Utilizing integrative, evidence-based therapeutic approaches, I work with women towards achieving whole wellness. At Whole Counseling & Wellness you’re treated as a whole person—not a set of symptoms. I specialize in women's and maternal mental health. I am particularly passionate about supporting women during the journey of pregnancy and transitioning into motherhood. Furthermore, I serve women facing the challenges of infertility, birth trauma, miscarriage, grief, and loss. I hold a Ph.D. in Counseling from Florida Atlantic University and have nearly a decade of experience in utilizing evidence-based integrative counseling approaches drawing heavily from cognitive-behavioral and attachment therapy.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor specializing in Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders and adjustment to prenatal, pregnancy, and postpartum periods. I know how difficult it can be to make sense of the many feelings that are often present when you are on this journey. It is such an honor for me to walk alongside you and your family. You deserve support, care, and close attention to your needs during this time.

Instead of unintentionally boring you with all my credentials and training, I wanted to switch things up a bit and be transparent. First and foremost, I identify as a woman of color, a mother, and wife. I acquired licensure to counsel in the state of Florida and through personal experiences with pregnancy, childbirth, and miscarriage was steered in the direction of becoming a Perinatal Mental Health Trained Counselor. I strongly believe that my experiences and passion for mental health led me to this field of working with mothers and providing them with the help and support I longed to have when I was in need. My training as a Perinatal Mental Health Counselor has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to serve mothers on their journey to conception, pregnancy, miscarriages, childbirth and beyond. The women of the world are life sources and nurturers, they deserve to be heard, and supported. They deserve to be well. As a woman of color, mother, wife and counselor, I am here to empower all women to believe they are worthy of care and wellness is possible. It’s time to say “Yes” to wellness. Contact us today to set up your appointment. Help is only a click away.

Hi! My name is Jennifer, I’m so glad you’re here. Let me tell you a bit about me; I enjoy going to the beach, making floral arrangements and spending time with my family. Other than working with persons to support any emotional goals, I specialize in women and couples who are struggling to create the family of their dreams. I also specialize in perinatal mental health and infertility counseling. My goal is to provide a safe and judgement free zone for you. I believe a safe space in therapy helps you feel more comfortable which leads to favorable outcomes.
