Ellen was the Ohio Department of Mental Health’s consultant to county suicide prevention coalitions for fourteen years. She also developed a series of Gatekeeper trainings for Ohio coalitions to increase community awareness about depression and suicide, and to help people learn how to intervene when someone they know is suffering from this deadly symptom of depression.

Ellen’s focus is on treating traumatized people, and learning everything she can about trauma treatment. She has provided Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for the last 17 years. She also utilized Ego State therapy and Sensorimotor psychotherapy in treating trauma. Healing from PTSD is possible, using appropriate trauma treatment methods.
