Dr. Elise has earned a Doctorate in Management with a concentration in Organizational Development & Change. She has a Masters in Marriage & Family Therapy.
Dr. Elise has spent her career inside the organizations she now serves, as a licensed clinician, a practice founder, and a researcher who studied the very burnout that mission-driven leaders face every day. Her doctoral research examined what drives burnout in behavioral health leaders and clinicians, resulting in seminal findings that now inform how mission-driven organizations approach sustainable leadership. Elise's expertise is grounded in the very challenges her clients face. Founding and scaling services from the ground up in rural communities and beyond, Elise believes every leader — regardless of organization size, budget, or zip code, deserves access to the kind of strategic support that helps them and their mission thrive.

This includes nonprofits, behavioral health organizations, and faith-based teams seeking leadership support that is practical, accessible, and deeply respectful of community realities.
