About me

I am an experienced Therapist, MA, LPC and LCADC with a BA in Education and MA in Counseling/Psychology. I have worked in all levels of care in the Mental Health and Addictions fields for the past 20 years (detox, inpatient, residential, PHP, IOP and OP) for hospitals, agencies and non-profits. I am dedicated to supporting individuals throughout their therapeutic experience, fostering awareness and change. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and solution based therapy. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, trauma, abuse and ADHD. An individualized eclectic approach is taken to help the client define goals and objectives. I offer a therapeutic relationship that is comfortable, warm, and open to discussing all issues. Through support, understanding and active listening we explore life issues together, so clients may have a better ability to enjoy life and feel understood.My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.I look forward to working with you.

After every session with Helen, I gain a lot more clarity, and I feel lighter and more optimistic about life. Her kind, caring, and warm demeanor makes it easy to confide in her. She has helped me immensely with her support and guidance, and I cannot thank her enough for getting me through some tough times. Everyone needs a Helen in their life!

I look forward to my sessions with Helen each week. I’ve made so much progress in my healing journey since meeting Helen. Helen is very caring, compassionate, knowledgeable and resourceful toward my recovery goals. Helen has helped me understand so much about addressing my thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Our conversations are invaluable. We have plenty of laughs too.
