Get to know Elionore

Why did you decide to become a psychiatric provider?

While working as a pain specialist Certified Registered Nurse Practitioner, I realized that patients living with chronic pain are at heightened risk for mental health problems, including depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders. Chronic pain can affect sleep, increase stress levels and contribute to depression. I decided to further my education to help the needs of my patients.

I wish all clients knew we are doing our very best to help them on their path to happiness.

Why did you choose to practice at Thriveworks?

Thriveworks is one of the leaders when it comes to customer satisfaction and nurse practitioner experience. Learning from the best is getting myself a real chance to be the best.

What inspires you?

I am inspired by the fact that I know every patient I will have in my care will not only feel better, but I will bring a positive change in their lives.

What can clients expect in their first session with you?

All my clients can expect professionalism, active listening, and empathy from me during our sessions.

What should clients know about you before scheduling a first counseling session?

All my clients should know that I am an experienced nurse with empathy, active listening, and a problem-solving mindset.

What do you do for fun/on your time off?

I love spending time with my kids on weekends doing fun activities. I also love reading while walking on my treadmill.
