Helena’s passion for play therapy stems from her belief that play is a child’s natural language—a space where they can express emotions, process difficult experiences, and build resilience. She specializes in working with children navigating anxiety, trauma, behavioral challenges, divorce, and family transitions, providing a safe and supportive environment for healing and growth.

Beyond her work with children, Helena provides therapy across the lifespan, supporting adolescents, adults, couples, and families as they navigate life’s challenges. She has a deep passion for working with neurodivergent individuals and families, helping them build self-awareness, emotional regulation, and stronger connections. She understands that every brain is unique and celebrates the strengths of neurodivergent clients while offering support tailored to their specific needs.

Her journey into mental health was deeply influenced by both personal experiences and specialized training, shaping her commitment to providing compassionate, evidence-based care. Helena’s therapeutic approach is both relational and directive, creating a space where clients feel truly heard while also receiving the guidance, tools, and practical strategies needed for meaningful growth. She is dedicated to helping clients build resilience, navigate challenges, and create lasting change in their lives.  

Helena is trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), including both basic and advanced protocols. She holds specialized training in Adlerian Play Therapy, Family Play Therapy, and AutPlay Therapy, allowing her to support children in a developmentally appropriate and engaging way.
