Helen is a wonderful therapist. She is knowledgeable and has been instrumental in helping me dive into my trauma. She listens, makes me feel safe, doesn't judge, and has the skills to help me make sense of things. 11/10 best therapist I've ever had the pleasure of working with

Making yourself a priority comes first in taking care of your mental health and I am here to help you in your journey to feeling better and learn ways to increase mindfulness and create a positive energy that will bring you to a new level of wellness. With over 27 years experience in two states, I have worked in both mental health and addictions and I enjoy seeing the progress my clients make in the work that they do as they empower themselves. By using CBT, DBT, and solution focused evidenced based practices, the research is there to prove that these practices are successful in helping you on your recovery journey. In my work with all age groups, I have been able to see how these skills and practices can help to create wellness and mindfulness in order to feel better.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a 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. Starting at $65 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 does a great job of validating and explaining my emotions to me. She helps me with approaches to managing my problems and walks me through how to handle difficult conversations. I am already feeling like I have a better understanding of why I get overwhelmed sometimes and that I need to manage that with self care in the short time we have been meeting. She is not judgmental and is a great listener. I appreciate her continued support and look forward to working with her as long as necessary.

Helen made such a positive impact on me since I started therapy with her. She is so kind and wonderful. She always knows the right things to say and doesn’t make you feel bad for feeling a certain way. She makes you feel listened to and like your time together is very valuable to her. Not only did I feel lifted after every session, but her words would carry me throughout the week until I saw her next. I liked that I could trust her and that means so much to me. Thank you Helen for your time and effort to change my life :)

I’m so happy I finally decided to do this. Helen has been amazing and so patient with me! I really was hoping I didn’t have someone who was just going to say “how was your day and how did that make you feel” I needed someone who was going to help me break down my walls, dig up my past, and help me go through it so I can officially overcome it and Helen is doing that with me! She doesn’t judge me at all and is truly listening to what I’m saying. It feels like she genuinely wants what’s best for me and to help me grow to be my best me. Thank you Helen!!
