Welcome to the Helena Team

In therapy I don't just help people walk through their struggles, I help them discover what those problems are, and where they came from. In the office, I use psychodynamic, existential, and relational approaches to understand both why folks want to change, and why they haven't been able to, fully honoring that reluctance in order to make therapy enduring and empowering, ages 3 through 93, for families, couples, and individuals.

What does it mean to hold space for someone else? As a clinically trained social worker, my goal is to provide a space for you that is safe, supportive, and free from judgment while pursuing growth and change. I seek to help my clients explore and identify sources of stress with a goal of improving their well-being, self-awareness, and coping skills. I enjoy working with people who are seeking to heal from traumatic life experiences, those who are working through grief and chronic stress, and those who are experiencing depression and anxiety.

As an individual with personal life experience, I know what it is like to be in a place where you just need someone to talk to that "gets it." Someone who can listen, hold space, and connect with you on a level that lets you know you're right where you need to be. As a licensed therapist, I bring both life and professional experience to the table. Whether you're facing past trauma, anxiety, depression, life stressors, family stress, or need someone to listen, I will meet you where you are to provide a safe space and work alongside you to help you find your way. I see people as the experts on themselves, as you know you best.

I utilize a diverse approach to therapy, pulling from various theoretical skills. I am certified in Trauma Focused Cognitive Processing therapy, integrate skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-centered therapy, Reality therapy, and Attachment theory to work with individuals and families who are seeking solace for their mental health needs.

I work with adolescents, teens, and adult individuals. I work through in-person and telehealth platforms, so I can meet the individual needs of my client. If you're looking for an empathetic, down-to-earth, sees you for yourself therapist, call for a consultation so we can see if we would be a good fit. I look forward to getting to know you.
