About Provider

About Heli

As a licensed mental health counselor, I believe prioritizing your mental health is key to feeling more balanced and fulfilled in your life. With 25 years of experience, I work with adolescents, adults, families, and couples who are navigating anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. Many of my clients come in feeling overwhelmed, unable to turn off their mind, or stuck in racing thoughts that make it hard to relax or feel present. I believe therapy should be collaborative and tailored to your specific needs. 

My practice focuses on evidence-based support like CBT for those navigating: Anxiety and Racing Thoughts: Helping you quiet the mind and find peace. Depression: Working through the fog to rediscover motivation and joy. Relationship Challenges: Enhancing communication and resolving conflicts. Stress Management: Developing tools to manage feeling overwhelmed. 

Everyone has a unique story and deserves an individualized approach. When we work together, we'll partner in your therapeutic journey. It's important to me that you feel heard, respected, and comfortable being open. I'll be there to listen, offer perspective, gently challenge patterns when needed, and support you as you work toward meaningful change.

Get to know Heli

Why did you decide to become a counselor or psychiatric provider?

I was always interested in human mind and enjoyed Psychology classes even in High School. 

What types of clients do you work best with?

Adolecents and families.

What's one thing you wish all clients knew about therapy, mental health, or the healing process?

It is not easy but very worth it.

What can clients expect in their first session with you and in the early stages of therapy?

In our first session I want to hear what brought you here today and what you’re hoping to achieve. I strive to provide a safe and nonjudgmental environment for you where trust is built. In the following sessions together we address the areas of your life that are most important to you.

What personal experiences or values inform your practice as a therapist/provider?

Family.

How do you tailor therapy to meet each client’s unique needs?

During intake I'll look at client's symptoms, history and goals.
