Lena has experience working with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, life transitions, family and relationship dynamics, intimate partner violence, and feelings of isolation or disconnection. She approaches therapy by creating a warm, judgment-free environment where struggles can be shared openly and explored at a pace that feels safe and supportive. Lena works collaboratively with clients to find ways to make the weight of what they’re carrying feel lighter over time.

Her clinical experience is grounded in community-based settings, with a focus on supporting clients during periods of crisis. While completing her Master’s training, she worked at a domestic violence shelter and Bellevue Hospital, supporting individuals navigating stress, trauma, and life transitions. She helps clients emotionally regulate and ease pain and suffering in ways that feel stabilizing and compassionate, while also exploring how early experiences and relational histories shape current emotions and patterns to support healing and meaningful change.
