About Helen

I have been providing therapy services to children, adolescents, teenagers, young adults, adults, couples, and families for over 20 years. I have been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Massachusetts since 1996. I became certified in Intensive Family Systems from The Family Institute of Cambridge in 1997. My Masters is in Clinical Psychology from Northeastern University, 1995, my Bachelors in Child Studies/Development from Tufts University, 1993, yet never cease to expand my professional education annually.

I spent my first few years of practice working in residential treatment, then treated families within their homes. Subsequently, I practiced in clinical settings treating individuals, couples and groups, specializing in adolescents and families. For over 10 years I treated children, adolescents, teenagers, and families as a school therapist within Boston Public and Private school settings collaborating as part of a multidisciplinary team, providing teacher and case consultation, and clinical consultation as part of a Student Support Team.

My Newton private practice first opened part time in the Fall of 2012. Since that time it has grown and evolved into a full time, 6 days a week practice. I’m very proud to work with such a wonderfully diverse client group. I genuinely love and am proud of my work. As such, powerful collaborative therapeutic relationships are formed with my client families. Clients continuously improve and move on.
