After 20 years in the computer industry, Helena decided to pursue her long-standing interest in healing. She became licensed in massage therapy and specialized her bodywork in medical treatment for accident and sport injuries. Helena also obtained her certification in craniosacral therapy and her continued education included an osteopathic approach to the biomechanics of trauma for injuries such as whiplash, head injuries and other aspects of the neuromeningual system.
Following her desire to more effectively and holistically treat the emotional effects of trauma, she completed a Masters of Arts in Psychology: Mental Health Counseling from Antioch University in Seattle.The completion of the degree required a one-year counseling internship which Helena completed at Sound Mental Health (SMH) working with adult outpatients that primarily experienced severe abuse. Helena continues to volunteer at SMH in addition to having her own private practice.
In 2001, Helena also completed a 3-year course equivalent to a MBA in Leadership and Communication from Authentic Leadership based in Atlanta, and adds this knowledge base frequently in her work as a mental health counselor.
In order to further specialize her counseling work in trauma that resulted from physical, sexual or child abuse, Helena completed her training and required supervision hours with the renowned EMDR Institute to become an EMDR Therapist. Helena uses primarily EMDR Therapy, and where applicable, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or Gestalt.
In 2008, at the Enneagram Institute, Helena completed training to teach the Enneagram personality style model to further support and educate clients in self awareness and exploration.
In addition to the joys of being a mom, Helena is a licensed pilot and avid traveler who enjoys golf, skiing, day hikes, and attendiing the arts.
