Helena is a relational therapist passionate about helping adults navigate the complexities of trauma. Her approach is gentle and curious, utilizing a somatic approach to foster deep, lasting change in your life. ​As a psychologist, she believes that each client holds the capacity for resilience and growth. Helena strives to create a collaborative environment where your voice is heard and valued. Her approach is mind-body focused, integrating nervous system balance as a central aspect to therapy. She emphasizes the importance of values in guiding personal growth and uses experiential methods in therapy to foster deeper connections and insights. 

Her background includes working with university students, cancer patients and their family members, newcomers to Canada, and in the nonprofit sector. Her lived experience as a second generation immigrant also shapes her understanding of the multiple identities we hold and intergenerational differences that may cause tension. She is deeply respectful of this complexity—and strives to create a space where clients feel seen not just as individuals, but as people shaped by stories, histories, and embodied experiences that matter. Clients often describe her as calm, grounded, and reflective, qualities she believes create a safe space for exploration and healing.

In her personal time, Helena enjoys cross country skiing on the many wonderful trails within and outside Edmonton, spending quality time with her husband, toddler and 2 cats, and going on thrifting excursions.
