With an extensive background in Integrative Medicine and Psychiatry, Helena works together with her patients to create a holistic and individualized approach, in order to bring them to an optimal quality of life.
Helena's interest for this type of medicine began when she started experiencing hormone imbalances shortly after the birth of her daughter. After talking to a friend, she decided to use Bio-identical Hormone Balancing and Neurotransmitter support to correct the problem. Compelled by the results, Helena made the transition from Emergency Room and Trauma Nursing to began her career in Integrative Medicine, obtaining a diverse range of clinical and research experiences in areas such as Hormone Balancing, Nutritional Therapy, IV therapy, Female Sexual Dysfunction, Gynecology, and Women's Health Issues.
As Helena saw a growing need for catching and getting to the root of NeuroCognitive and Psychiatric Conditions, she dove into the field of Psychiatry. With numerous clinical rotations in psychiatry (UMass Amherst, USF Byrds, PAR, Centerstone, & private practice psychiatry) she gained a wealth of knowledge and experience to expand on her growing areas of expertise.
Not only is Helena specialized in screening for conditions such as Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, Alzheimer's and Dementia, she is able to take a holistic approach, utilizing different modalities, medications, and referrals when needed. Additionally, with with her background Integrative Medicine, she has a keen eye for determining if the cause is due to something such hormone imbalance, neuroadrenal imbalance, or toxin buildup.
Helena's personal experience, combined with her clinical experience, education, and dedication, make her an integral part of The Renewal Point team and a vital resource for patients. In addition to Helena's work as a Nurse Practitioner, she and her husband enjoy volunteering and advocating for the USF Alumni Association and the Hernando-DeSoto Society, as well as spending time outdoors with their two children.
