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.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Ranging from $60 to $90 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Helen is easily one of the 3 most important people in my life (third only to my daughter and my partner). She listens, she comprehends, and then she soothes, comforts, educates and guides. She is amazing. Whenever I am struggling with something I know I can run it past Helen and she'll make it better. I've learned so much since meeting Helen and I honestly can't imagine life without her.

Helen is a wonderful, caring, and knowledgeable therapist. If she isn't as knowledgeable regarding a subject that you need to talk about, she will go out of her way to research it and send you information that could help you on your recovery journey. Overall I would definitely highly recommend Helen to anyone who is looking to talk about their day-to-day struggles. She is amazing!!

Helen is not only one of the kindest and honest souls I've ever met, she's particularly skilled at identifying the roots of my issues. Shes worked diligently on practical solutions/tools for me to manage my behavior and overall be much more emotionally aware. As my therapist, she always makes me feel welcomed and safe. I know I can confide in her without feeling judged or like I'm walking on egg shells. In a short time, I've been able to make significant progress with her as my therapist. From the bottom of my heart, I thank Betterhelp and Helen individually for showing me the true benefits of therapy. It has only made my life better since I started.
