The journey to your best self requires putting in the work and making the necessary changes in your life. If you are motivated by learning and growth, strong-minded, and interested in removing obstacles to the realization of your true potential, you can get there. The rewards for all your hard work will then surround you —peace, self-love, calm, comfort, strength, confidence, and more. Elaine has seen this happen for many people she has guided in her years as a licensed professional counselor.
A multicultural feminist therapist, Elaine specializes in helping women, BIPOC, queer people, and people from under-served populations. Elaine is Vietnamese American with family overseas and friends all over the world. She has helped clients from diverse backgrounds, genders, and orientations. She works with people from 35 different cultural backgrounds and specializes in those with mixed-culture.
Elaine also offers counseling for couples and polycules. In many cases, insurance will pay for this as long as one member of the couple or polycule has appropriate coverage.
Her platform for helping couples and polycules grow and thrive is deeply rooted in the work of John Gottman and, most of all, in the values surrounding egalitarian and fair relationships that do not adhere to patriarchal or religious expectations. Feel free to contact the Enteave staff and see if your insurance covers you and your loved ones.
Elaine is a lifetime Buddhist and childfree. She is not “about” marriage, cohabitation or kids for herself and has a vivid cluster of awesome hobbies and friends instead. Feel free to talk to Elaine about what it’s like not to be Christian, married, or have children. Or what it’s like to be an artist (since she comes from a long performing arts background), a healer, and a person of more than one culture. It’s a safe space.
Elaine has attained the status of LPC Supervisor in August 2024 and will specialize in helping new and established counselors attain strong multicultural competence, stellar boundaries, excellent self care, and career success.
