About Helen

In other roles she provided marital counseling, parent-child education, and time-limited casework. She also coordinated with community leaders and service systems to arrange placements and transitions when needed. Helen has experience referring clients for psychological or psychiatric evaluation and follow-up care.
She has practiced telehealth counseling in prior years and is experienced with online work. Helen aims to offer straightforward support, clear next steps, and respectful partnership while people work through difficult problems and decisions.
