What to expect when working with Elyse...

CLARITY:

Zoom out together to see your current reality through a wider, kinder lens — one that reveals what’s really happening beneath the surface.

INSIGHT:

Identify and soften the unconscious patterns quietly keeping dissatisfaction in place. Awareness becomes practical when it’s paired with compassion.

ACTION:

Design a simple, strategic plan that fits real life — tools and practices that anchor new awareness and steady lasting change.

The best way to understand this work is to experience it — live, personal, and real.

This is a space where you’ll be met with both clarity and care.

We won’t stay on the surface.

We’ll look directly at what’s happening — the patterns, the reactions, the moments that feel stuck — and begin to shift them in real time.

You don’t have to prepare or perform.

Just bring what’s true.

From there, we’ll find the next step that actually fits — whether that’s an intensive, ongoing work, or a different direction entirely.

Give Yourself the Gift of a Session

Her Story

From an early age, I felt slightly off‑map — too curious, too sensitive, too intense.
That pull led me simultaneously toward disciplined study and the deeper terrain of emotional truth.

After graduating Phi Beta Kappa, magna cum laude in Psychology, I built The Choosing Prosperity Game — an online community of more than 40,000 participants exploring mindset and well‑being.
Years later I stepped back, drawn into the living field where psychology meets presence and where long‑held stories begin to unwind.

Over the past decade I’ve trained in both evidence‑based and experiential approaches that help people recalibrate their nervous systems and release relational pain — including Brainspotting™, Havening™, Relational Life Therapy (RLT), and Relateful Facilitation.

Through these lenses I developed Relational Empowerment — a practice devoted to bringing compassion and clarity into the core of human connection, transforming protective patterns into the felt experience of safety, honesty, and care.

“Even after all the study, I still catch my own patterns sneaking in.
I smile when they do, because real growth isn’t about never repeating — it’s about noticing sooner.”

 

Her Commitment

“I know the relief — and the aliveness — that come from stepping out of old frustration cycles and into the kind of connection we all deserve.

Each week, I hold space for individuals and couples ready to become relationally empowered — to move beyond reactivity, find steadiness again, and communicate with both clarity and care.

If something in you feels ready — ready to stop repeating pain that isn’t yours and let truth and compassion form a new pattern of connection — reach out.

“I’d be honored to meet you where you are.
We don’t fix each other here — we remember together.”

What to expect from working with Elyse

   

     
“Thank you Elyse for all you did today for D____ and I.  I haven’t seen him cry since his dad died 20 + years ago until working with you!  It’s been beautiful to witness and feel his tenderness and vulnerability!  Beyond grateful for you….I just referred some friends of ours - Everyone needs an “Elyse” - Tina
 
 
 "Thank you so much for the appointment yesterday. I really can't say how hugely grateful I feel to have been able to speak with you...I was literally starting to give up on the idea of being able to get any help with him from any one who could understand the situation and help me to deal with it - but after speaking with you - I did feel hopeful again. It was so amazing to feel heard and understood  - so my heartfelt thanks for yesterday."  - Dawn

 

 
 “Things have truly been so good between us. I don’t want to say he’s a different person, but he kind of is…I think we understand each other differently. Things that bothered me so much before don’t even faze me. It’s night and day. I’m even wearing my engagement ring again!” - Carolyn“
 
 
 “It's actually unbelievable how well things are going…A____ is saying that she feels very enveloped and she feels my presence…She's even started giving me hugs again and engaging in physical contact and I'm able to sort of lean into her…I did tell her tonight that I was feeling authentically ‘I am so happy to be your partner." - Steven
  
 
“You are truly a priceless gift. Through your love, acceptance and being totally present with me, I have been able to make huge shifts in how I view the world and myself in it. Where I once lacked confidence and was more concerned about other’s approval of me, I now let nothing stand in my way and feel excited to express my gifts, move past fears, and do things that bring me real joy.” - Bridgette
 
 
“In my family’s darkest hour, when our daughter was missing and feared to be in danger, Elyse became a steady beacon of  hope amidst overwhelming uncertainty. As I wrestled with guilt and the weight of blame filled the air, she took command with grace and reminded us all that this was not our fault - it was the results of our daughter’s own choices. Through those harrowing moments, Elyse's strength, wisdom, patience, and compassion never wavered. In the deepest darkness, she held our family-and me-together with unwavering love and clarity, offering comfort that brought us back to each other when we needed it most.”  -  Roy

 

 
“Just wanted to give you a quick update…Our last session really helped K____ to be present and connect…without all the feelings of guilt and shame. That was such a gift for him…We both want you to know how grateful we are for you, How much we appreciate you and all you’ve done for us.” - Tammy
  
  
 “I am writing to tell you how much I appreciate your unique approach. I continue to move my life in the direction of what brings me true joy and fulfillment, and your program gives me a focal point as well as a community that helps ‘jumpstart’ me to take this to a whole new level. This is an entirely new way of living.” – Laurel
 
 
“The last few days have felt good with some of the things we’ve been doing to connect. The other night we had so much fun together just the two of us - it gave me a lot of hope. I can’t remember feeling like that for the longest time.” - - Louise

  

 
"Thank you for a life altering experience! Thank you for your intuition in leading me to things that help me. Thanks for continuing to challenge me. From a life impact standpoint, you’ve helped me more in two months than anybody else I can remember!” - Janet
