Truly, one of my favourite parts of this work is the privilege of supporting other humans — the vulnerability, the messiness, the authenticity, and the deep, meaningful conversations that come with it. My practice is trauma-informed and rooted in narrative therapy, where we explore the stories of your life with compassion and curiosity, while also considering the social and cultural factors that may have influenced where you are today.

I incorporate elements of emotion focused, narrative, dialectical behavioural, internal family systems, parts work, attachment, strengths/resiliency based, and somatic approaches.

I specialize in working with young adults, helping clients overcome barriers and reach their goals through a direct, authentic approach that prioritizes collaboration and building a relationship. I work with clients navigating Anxiety, ADHD, Autism, Grief, Trauma, and other challenges. As a child of Soviet immigrants, I also speak Russian fluently. While I grew up in Canada and speak Russian with an accent, it does allow me to connect with clients who feel more comfortable in the language. It also allows me to better understand some of the challenges faced by newcomers in our community.

Hi, I’m Yili. Reaching out for support can feel uncertain and vulnerable, and I deeply respect your courage to begin this journey. Before becoming a counsellor, I spent many years working as a NICU nurse, supporting mothers and families during some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives. Those experiences, along with my own journey through mental health challenges, shaped my belief in meeting people with compassion, understanding, and without judgment.
