Individual therapy
for the whole person.

Many people come to me having already tried a great deal: talk therapy, medication, the books and the videos. They’ve worked hard and still feel stuck, caught somewhere between who they’ve been and who they’re becoming.

That space between is where I work. I don’t believe healing is about fixing what’s broken; it’s about rediscovering a wholeness that trauma, shame, and conditional love have buried but never erased. My approach moves from the ground up: first building safety and steadiness in the nervous system, then using the body as a map to surface and unburden what has been stored there, and finally opening toward meaning, purpose, and what becomes possible when the weight lifts.

I also specialize in psychedelic preparation and integration. Drawing on four years as a psychedelic researcher at the University of Washington, I offer grounded, clinically informed support for those preparing for or making meaning of a psychedelic experience, whether in a clinical trial, a retreat, or a personal context.

My name, Elan, means “oak tree” in Hebrew. Like the oak, I believe we grow strongest when we’re deeply rooted: connected to our bodies, our stories, and something larger than ourselves.
