Hi, I’m Helen, and I’m so glad you’re here. I am a Counselor Trainee gaining my Master’s degree at Cleveland State University and completing my practicum and internship at Ebb & Flow Counseling working with children (9+), teens, adults and couples navigating life transitions, parenting challenges, anxiety, and relationship concerns. Before beginning my journey into mental health counseling, I spent nearly two decades teaching English in public education, an experience that deepened my appreciation for connection, growth, and supporting people through life’s many seasons.

My therapeutic approach is eclectic, relational, and collaborative, drawing from attachment-based therapy, somatic work, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I enjoy working with adults, parents, teens, and college students, helping clients navigate change, strengthen relationships, and better understand themselves.

As a therapist, my style is relaxed, open, and authentic. Clients can expect a space where they feel deeply heard, supported, and sometimes even find room for laughter. I enjoy incorporating creative and outside-the-box approaches when helpful, such as movement, breathing exercises, expressive activities like painting, or simply creating a space that feels comfortable and natural. I view therapy as a partnership and encourage open communication so sessions can be tailored to what feels most meaningful and supportive for you. My hope is that clients leave sessions with greater clarity, confidence, and a deeper sense of connection to themselves while feeling empowered to ask for what they need.

Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy dancing, writing, painting, gardening, spending time outdoors, and most importantly, being with my children.

Helen is a Counselor Trainee in school at Cleveland State University and completing her practicum and internship hours under the direct supervision of Leah Brett, LPCC-S, LMHC.
