Black man, you carry more than you show, and you've carried it alone long enough. I help Black men work through depression, anxiety, relationship strain, identity questions, and the everyday pressure of being everything to everyone. If you're stuck in your own head, tired of running the same loops, and feeling the gap between where you are and where you want to be, this is for you. I'll help you get honest, address what's been holding you back, and begin to move differently. As a therapist, my goal is to provide the care I'd want available to my father, my brother, myself. No performing, no code-switching, just Brother2Brother.

I believe the practice of being alive is a vibrant expression of all our parts, and healing begins with awareness of our inner world, our relationships, and the ways we’ve learned to relate in response to others. The way we show up in the world is shaped not only by who we are, but by trauma, attachment wounds, and patterns of self-silencing that can pull us away from ourselves. In therapy, I help clients deepen their understanding of these patterns, reconnect with their inner world, and move toward a more grounded, authentic way of being.

You are the one everyone counts on. You handle it, you show up, and lately you are not sleeping; you are shorter with the people you love than you mean to be, and you have stopped saying out loud how tired you actually are. I work with Black professionals, adults of color, and LGBTQ+ adults who look steady in public and run on empty in private. I also work with couples who still love each other and have been having the same argument for three years. You will not spend sessions explaining racism, code-switching, or what it costs to be the only one in the room. We start past that.

Hi, I’m Nikoleta! I’m an international doctoral student from Greece, and for the past seven years I’ve called the U.S. home. I identify as a queer cisgender able bodied woman. I’m passionate about uplifting and centering voices that have historically been excluded, both within my own communities and beyond. When we work together, you can expect a compassionate, non-judgmental space where we’ll explore your authentic self, replace fear and shame with self-acceptance, set healthy boundaries, and nurture deeper connections. Together, we’ll honor your intersecting identities, heal wounds of oppression, and strengthen your confidence.

You’re overwhelmed with expectations and responsibilities. Though you appear to “have it all together,” that doesn’t match how you feel. Having others rely on you is a great compliment, but it also brings heavy pressure. You desperately want change but are afraid of what others will think, if you will be judged or if you will lose relationships. Who will you be if you are different from who you are now? There’s only one answer…YOURSELF; the person you truly are. Learn to set boundaries, invest in your self-awareness, and live by your values. Learn how to take care of yourself & still take care of your responsibilities. (Yes you can)

As a Puerto Rican and Cuban woman, first-gen graduate, and former athlete, I know how performance pressure and systemic barriers can leave you burned out. Whether you’re a student navigating code-switching, an athlete managing identity shifts after an injury, or an adult balancing complex family dynamics and systems not built for you—your experience matters. My work is rooted in advocacy, helping you untangle cultural identities, set boundaries, and dismantle the obstacles standing in your way so you can thrive on your own terms.

Specializing in relationship struggles, racial identity, family conflict, and trauma, I offer a compassionate, affirming space.
I work with adults, couples, and families in the BIPOC community, especially Asian Americans and Korean Americans, and offer sessions in Korean and English. You may feel alone, disconnected, or caught between culture, family expectations, and the closeness you want. Some come to explore cultural identity and a kinder relationship with themselves. Couples and families often come to repair trust and feel close again. As an emotionally focused therapist, I help you slow down, name what sits under the distance, and practice new ways of reaching for yourself and each other, so connection can feel safer and more like home.

There is purpose in your stress. There is purpose in your pain. Life is filled with constant transitions that are not always easy to navigate or successfully complete. Many people are not aware of how much impact their current environment, past events, and social pressures have on their daily lives. The idea of walking through life without support to heal or reflect can be exhausting. Often you may not be able to identify the exhaustion, stress, or pain but just know that something is “off”? So I ask ... do you today, right now, feel like you are living your best life? If not, the Helm Academy is a great place to begin therapy.

You may be someone others rely on, steady and capable on the outside, while internally feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that don’t fully make sense. Even when you try to understand or manage it, something doesn’t fully shift.

Many seek support when navigating intergenerational or identity-related trauma, feeling disconnected from cultural roots, or desiring a holistic, culturally attuned approach to well-being. You may be looking for a safe, collaborative space to explore your ancestry, relationships, and personal growth, and to foster unity and resilience across generations.

My goal as a therapist is to build a relationship with my clients where they feel comfortable to share their most vulnerable feelings. My work is shaped by both my professional background as a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor and my lived experience as a biracial woman with roots in an immigrant family. I specialize in supporting adults and young adults living with chronic conditions, neurodivergence (including ADHD), and identity-related stress, particularly within the South Asian community.

As a Black, queer, trans person, I intimately understand how those with marginalized identities are often silenced and made to feel invisible. In my practice, I prioritize creating a space where your voice is centered and valued. I believe that true healing and growth come when we reconnect with ourselves and with others in meaningful ways, and I strive to create an environment where you can fully show up as yourself.

You're the one everyone counts on: the good daughter, the reliable friend, the one who overextends at work and still holds it all together. Somewhere along the way, what you want took a backseat to what everyone expects of you. Maybe you're wrestling with questions about identity and where you belong, or moving through a life transition that has you unsure of your next step. Underneath the noise is a version of you that feels more grounded and more like yourself. Therapy can be a space to slow down, get curious about your story, and start choosing what actually feels right for you, not what you've been told it should look like.
