She specializes in working with individual adults and first responders in all stages of life. Her focus areas include trauma, grief, stress management, depression, and anxiety. Helen’s treatment approaches focus primarily on CBT, EMDR, and mindfulness.
Helen believes in a solid therapeutic alliance.
