(she/her) a California based Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, specializing in Perinatal Mental Health. I help women, birthing people, and their partners heal emotional wounds and cultivate a life that is deeply fulfilling.

Hi! I’m Helen.

You’ve been the one everyone can rely on. Despite feeling depleted and alone inside, you’ve managed to push forward and care for loved ones and provide high quality output at work, all while bringing a smile and positive “can-do” spirit wherever you go. Now, you’ve entered a new and uncharted chapter of your life—becoming a mom—and you’re finding yourself even more stressed and weighed down by the pressure to do it all right.

I understand how much it matters to feel like you’re doing this well and to feel peace and confidence as you become a mom.

Whether you’re having difficulty adjusting in your new identity, struggling with anxiety or depression, or feeling disconnected from your partner, therapy can help you navigate this time in your life and help you feel more steady and confident in yourself.

Just as much as you’ve been there for others, you deserve to be seen and supported.

Together we’ll attune to your needs and tend to the pain connected to the past that often resurfaces with becoming a parent. We’ll work together to make meaningful change and cultivate a fulfilling life.
