For couples, Helen draws on some of the most respected modalities in the field — the Gottman Method, PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy), IFIO (Intimacy from the Inside Out, rooted in Internal Family Systems), and the Developmental Model — to help partners deepen understanding, repair disconnection, and build lasting intimacy.

With children, adolescents, and families, Helen brings specialized training and genuine attunement to the unique developmental and emotional needs of younger clients.
