Helen (she/her) believes in using a client-centered approach to establish safety and trust in the therapeutic relationship. In following the client's lead, Helen hopes to strengthen their sense of empowerment in deciding how they want to approach their goals and/or concerns.

In addition to establishing good rapport between Helen as a clinician and her clients, her goal is for my clients to also develop a healthier and happier relationship with themselves and the people around them. In providing a welcoming and understanding space for clients to share about their lives, Helen hopes to offer the compassion and acceptance that encourages them to reciprocate that same kindness for themselves.
