“Working with Ellen gave me confidence through refined thought and tailored investigation. The homework was specific to me—not cookie-cutter—and we moved efficiently toward my goals. That’s not to say the work was easy. When I came to Ellen, I was stuck—tangled in past investments of energy and future potential. With her guidance, I quickly sorted out my path forward. I’m putting in the work weekly and am grateful for the confidence I gained through working with Ellen.”
