Hi! I’m Elza.

I’m a licensed therapist with over 15 years of experience helping individuals navigate anxiety, trauma, and self-esteem challenges using evidence-based therapy techniques. My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a scientifically proven framework that empowers you to rewire unhelpful thought patterns, manage emotional triggers, and build lasting emotional resilience.

How did I get into working with gamers? After working as a therapist at DigiPen Institute of Technology, I developed a passion and soft spot for working with the gaming community, whether you’re a casual player or in the video game industry.

What sets my work apart is the balance of clinical expertise and personalized, real-world application. Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s most effective when it feels relevant, engaging, and tailored to you. Whether you’re feeling stuck in self-doubt, overwhelmed by anxious thoughts, or struggling to move past painful experiences, I bring a calm, strategic presence and a strong foundation in research-backed methods to help you create meaningful change.

I specialize in helping individuals who may feel high-functioning on the outside but overwhelmed internally—those who are ready to understand their patterns, challenge their limits, and take the next step toward clarity and confidence.

Think of therapy here as a real-life skill tree: structured personal growth, unlocked one step at a time, with the tools that actually work for you. This isn’t about respawning endlessly through the same struggles—it’s about leveling up with insight, clarity, and emotional armor that holds up under pressure.
