About me

As a licensed therapist in New Jersey, I bring over two decades of compassionate clinical experience to my practice. My professional journey has been dedicated to supporting individuals through complex life transitions, with specialized expertise in addressing depression, addiction, LGBTQ+ experiences, trauma recovery, and grief counseling.

My approach is particularly attuned to the unique needs of older adults and LGBTQ+ communities. I offer a deeply empathetic and affirming therapeutic space, especially for those navigating end-of-life counseling and hospice-related emotional challenges. Through evidence-based practices, I help clients develop resilience, process difficult emotions, and rediscover personal strength during challenging life moments.

I am committed to creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment where every individual can explore their experiences, heal from past wounds, and move toward greater emotional well-being. My goal is to walk alongside you with genuine understanding and professional guidance.

Currently in the beginning stages of therapy. Definitely a good listener, but looking forward to getting past the getting to know each other stages and focusing on my needs. Very confident we will, but it’s only been two sessions and these things take time.

Helen is incredibly kind, patient, and understanding. I always look forward to every session with her because she makes me feel both seen and heard, and she will even offer new perspective on an issue, further helping me deal with various problems. I can’t recommend Helen enough.

Helen helped me immensely in many ways. After our first session, I knew I found someone who could help me with my issues. I always looked forward to our sessions, which she always gave me the time i needed. Her support, ways to handle things or look at the situation to better understand what todo or avoid. When I asked if I handled something the correct way or asked for suggestions, Helen was very helpful and made suggestions how to move forward and told me how I handled a situation. I highly recommend Helen for anyone that is going through stressful relationships, experiencing self doubt, depressed or withdrawing from interacting with colleagues. I am very glad that I had Helen. Thank you so much!
