My name is Helena, and I specialize in helping teens and adults overcome challenges and achieve personal growth. Teens I work with often struggle with issues like identity, peer pressure, stress, and family conflict, while adults navigate workplace stress, personal growth, and the impact of past trauma. Many of my clients express goals such as finding emotional balance, breaking free from the weight of their past, improving their relationships, and developing practical tools to cope with stress and adversity. They want to build confidence and create a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling.
I use evidence-based approaches, such as CBT, DBT, and trauma-focused therapy, to help clients navigate trauma, emotional challenges, and life transitions. I specialize in supporting teens and adults in building resilience, managing emotions, and improving relationships. I aim to empower clients to create lasting positive change in their lives.
Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face them alone. Whether you’re navigating identity struggles, family conflicts, current or past trauma, or stress, I’m here to help. Together, we’ll create a safe space to work toward your goals and build a healthier, more fulfilling future. Schedule an appointment today.
