I use online video therapy to help couples change how they think, feel, and behave by integrating mindfulness, compassion and neurobiology. I am passionate about creating new models for the delivery of psychotherapy and behavioral wellness coaching utilizing web-based technologies which allow us to increase access, reduce cost, and enhance effectiveness. I work with clients via secure video, email, and text as well as HIPPA compliant complimentary resources. Research studies consistently indicate that online video therapy is equivalent to face-to-face care in various settings. Because online video therapy is a relatively new, innovative and evolving form of practice, it requires additional, specific training to assure effective clinical outcomes. I am a Board Certified – TeleMental Health Provider (BC – TMH 1808) and I have extensive experience working with clients via online video both as a psychotherapist and as a professional coach. I continue to invest in additional training to remain at the cutting edge of innovation.
During the COVID public health emergency, Helen Star is offering Telehealth as a viable option to in person therapy. This is done generally through video chat.
I meet with clients online through video sessions. Through the comfort of their own home or a safe space, I am able to engage with clients and help them access deep healing within themselves. With the client being the expert on their own internal experience, I assist them in building resources that they can utilize outside of sessions. The techniques I utilize go beyond talk therapy and focus on somatic sensations within the body, breathing techniques, parts work, and attachment. I have training in EMDR, the Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM), and am informed in the Internal Family Systems Model (IFS).
One of the most important decisions you will make when considering psychotherapy is who you choose as your therapist. Can you be your authentic self with them? Are they nonjudgmental, open, and curious about you? Reaching out and asking for help can be difficult. With that in mind, my consultations are conversational and as comfortable as possible, especially when speaking about difficult topics.
Telehealth psychotherapy makes therapy accessible from anywhere you have internet access. Recent Research shows that Telehealth sessions are equally effective as face-to-face psychotherapy, with better retention rates and increased access to care. I currently offer face-to-face sessions in West Hollywood.
When you phone, you will get my personal voicemail or I will answer your call myself. Insuring your privacy is of utmost importance, especially among my Client base. You will never have to speak with a secretary, answering service, or receptionist. And unlike some practices, you will never be transferred to an associate or intern.

I provide online therapy to adolescents, young adults, and college students who are struggling with anxiety and/or depression. Each therapy session allows my clients to talk from a private space of their choosing to have a confidential session. Adolescents, young adults, and college students find online therapy easier at times as they do not have to travel to an office to get the help they need. In addition, I offer flexibility in scheduling to help allow for privacy and ease of obtaining the counseling.
