Exploring the Future of Mental Well-Being

Dara-Bu-Elliott-About-Me.jpg

Hello, I’m Dara.

(pronounced ‘DARE-uh’ )

Youth & Family Therapist Trainee + Psychotherapy Grad Student

I'm fascinated by the science & art of well-being. Currently, I'm captivated by somatic-based concepts like Polyvagal Theory, the promising science of awe, and enduring frameworks like attachment theory.

If you’re a fellow psychology enthusiast, I’d love to connect.


A bit about me.

I currently reside in Outer Sunset, San Francisco. You can often find me frolicking around Ocean Beach with my daughters. I enjoy barefoot runs and all things psychology. I’m a voracious reader and have found there’s likely a book that can accompany you on whatever journey you’re on.
