About me
Throughout the course of life many of us have experienced challenges around getting needs met, and feeling entirely safe within our environments. Many of the tools we develop to emotionally survive our experiences can later become automatic interpersonal response systems that we operate from long after they serve us. This can impact the relationship we have with ourselves and others. I strive to bring the utmost compassion and insight into the room while we work together to figure out how one's way of being in the world can become more aligned with the demands and concerns of the present circumstance.
Together we will identify how various systems impact mental health and well-being. Unpacking personal identity components while utilizing a strength-based approach is a process that should be collaborative, and can be empowering if done in a safe and comfortable environment. The result is often decreased anxiety and an overall increase in life satisfaction.
Please contact me so that we can discuss your needs and preferences.

Helen is an amazing therapist, the best I have ever worked with. She is very knowledgeable and has great insight into everything I share with her. She really understands me, even when I have trouble communicating how I feel. I would recommend her to anyone.

Helen is not the kind of specialist who will leave you alone. In difficult moments, she finds time to support and help to cope with emotions and also understand them better. For several years I tried to cope with my problems, went in circles, until I decided to register on this platform. Helen was the first specialist I was assigned and I am very grateful that she was my assistant.

Helen has been a great help. She took the time to understand me. She has always been there for me. She has supported me in any decisions taken. She is someone who I can trust. She has never judge me on the contrary she has helped me to find solutions. She is someone who I will definitely recommend.
