| After 20 years in the computer industry, Helena decided to pursue her long-standing interest in healing. She initially focused on bodywork by specializing on medical treatment for accident and sport injuries with a certification in craniosacral therapy and an osteopathic based approach to the biomechanics of injuries. However, this lead Helena to pursue the emotional healing of traumatic experiences and she completed a Masters of Arts in Psychology: Mental Health Counseling from Antioch University in Seattle. Her work is now not only focused on the healing of experiences caused by accidents and injuries, but also emotional trauma experienced by victims of abuse (physical, sexual, emotional), and other childhood experiences, which may include loss and phobias. In 2007, in order to further specialize her counseling work in trauma, Helena pursued and completed her training and required supervision hours with the renowned EMDR Institute to become an EMDR Therapist. Helena also completed a 3-year course equivalent to a MBA in Leadership and Communication from Authentic Leadership based in Atlanta in 2001. She now adds this knowledge base frequently in her work as a mental health counselor. In her private practice, Helena uses primarily EMDR Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or Gestalt. In addition, she brings her 20 year corporate experience forward when using EMDR therapy to address performance anxiety for clients in the workplace. Helena believes in helping clients develop self awareness and exploration, and in 2008, at the Enneagram Institute, she completed training to teach the Enneagram personality style model to further support and educate clients in their self empowerment. She is active in community service. Her primary charity focus is to help Harmony Hill Cancer Retreat, New Beginnings, Sound Mental Health and Washington Women in Need in their missions, when and where she can. 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. |
