About Ella

Hi! I'm a graduate student at UW getting my Masters in Applied Child and Adolescent Psychology and training to become a therapist. I've had over 10 years of experience, starting with babysitting and working at daycares (primarily 2 and 3-year-olds). After college, I served in a 4th grade classroom with Americorps, then practiced ABA as a behavioral technician. Currently, and for the past 3 years, I've been in the mental health field in working with adolescents. All that to say, I'm very passionate about working with youth and families and love to support families where I'm needed! In my personal life outside of school, I am an aerial dancer and instructor and I love to learn, spend time in community with others, and be outside. I also have lots of experience playing the violin, which I'd be thrilled to support children in as well.
