Hello there - my name is Helen, and I am highly skilled in working with depression, anxiety, and stress.

At the same time, I am organized and structured, and am highly motivated to guide you in consistently working towards your treatment goals.

You’ve needed changes but for too long, your efforts get complicated by self-sabotage and triggered reactions. When triggered, you prefer to isolate and withdraw so you don’t need to worry more about straining your relationships. You’ve had to be self-reliant for so long that you can’t imagine asking for what you need without feeling selfish or worrying about burdening others. Much of your attention is preoccupied with anticipating harm or preventing social rejection. You know that you’re self-aware and knowledgeable about your struggles. But you don’t know how to implement the steps towards actual deep, lasting healing and change.

I don't just like people, I appreciate people. I truly appreciate those who have suffered traumatic events and/or critical incidents (or years of them) and keep going. Walking alongside those who are hurting is my life focus. I am a retired law enforcement officer and have extensive experience working with people in crisis and chaotic situations. Though I never served in the military myself, my family has a very deep military history and there are many parallels between the careers. It is very important for military and first responders, including dispatchers and emergency room personnel, to have a support system in place.

You're seen as the person who appears to have everything together, yet underneath this, you're grappling with a constant downward spiral. You consistently exceed expectations, all the while battling the nagging doubt of whether you are doing well enough. Behind a smile and the words "I'm fine," you conceal the true self-doubt you battle every day, never wanting to burden others with your inner struggles. You are tired of over-thinking everything, your body is tight, and you can’t take it anymore.

I'm ideal for people who want to see a therapist short-term (<1 yr) and get a new perspective on a specific issue. I think there's value in being in therapy simply to understand yourself better and in going for a specific challenge but I prefer the latter. I like motivated clients who want someone direct, kind, and knowledgeable so they can make changes to their life and move forward more confidently. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, confidence, or your identity, I can help provide an empowering perspective so you can get what you want from therapy and get on your way! Also trained in Brainspotting for emotional processing.

I weave together my clinical training including EMDR, BrainSpotting, IFS (IFS Informed) and somatic therapies with approaches including breath work to help you reach your goals.
Are you struggling with past traumas, anxiety, depression, or just feel disconnected in your life? Do you feel sometimes like you are "too much" or feel misunderstood in your relationships? If you have experienced trauma, traditional talk therapy is often not enough to create lasting change. A holistic, integrated approach allows you to tap into the body's innate wisdom. I assist individuals and couples in the areas of anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and loss, self-esteem, relationship challenges, sexuality, boundaries, spiritual and existential questions.
