SunLife Therapists in Vancouver, BC
At Allura, we know and understand that sexuality is one of the most fun but complicated parts of humanity, while also one of the hardest to find a safe and non-judgmental space to speak openly about. Do you feel overwhelmed when you think about your sexuality, sex life, or relationship? Do you wish for more connection and excitement with your partner? Do you sometimes feel stress or anxiety fill your life? We can help with that. Our clients are professionals, parents, sometimes monogamous and sometimes polyamorous, LGBTQ+ - but they all share one thing in common: they are struggling with their sexuality in some way.

Many couples reach out feeling more like roommates than partners, repeating the same arguments, feeling unheard, or drifting apart. Other times, major life transitions, becoming parents, blending families, or facing infidelity, stir up resentment and distance.
I help couples move from stuck and disconnected to rebuilding trust, closeness and intimacy. Together, we’ll uncover relational patterns, improve communication, and rebuild emotional and sexual intimacy.
I draw on evidence-based models like the Gottman Method, attachment theory, and work with sexual connection (informed by Emily Nagoski’s research) to guide this journey.

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.

I understand firsthand how much of a balancing act life can be. I know that life can present challenges that take us off course and result in feelings of frustration, anxiety, and fear. I know that the competing demands of work and family life can make it feel like you are being pulled in all directions and not really doing anything well, it's as though you are barely keeping your head above water. I work with people who are ready feel differently.

Do you feel distressed but don't understand why? Have you tried different methods and it only helped a little but never get ahead? Have you ever wondered what the core issue is? Working with me might find you those answers. A lot of people ask who gets counselling, I believe that anyone who experiences stress could get a therapist; however, many have amazing family and friends that allow them to bounce ideas, inspire motivation, and provides insight so counselling really isn't needed. Most people wait till they are in crisis to get help which would mean a rough journey to baseline. Let's be preventative rather than reactionary.

Pursuing counselling may be a significant undertaking for some and therefore, it is imperative to establish an environment that is healing, safe and non-judgemental.

My hope is that you recognize that your emotions and feelings are real and valid and that you do not have to go through this process alone. My responsibilities are to ensure that I stand alongside you, go through this journey with you and work towards producing a positive ripple effect, as we carefully rebuild each and every single facet of your life.

You’re a deep-feeling, thoughtful person trying to make sense of yourself, your relationships, and the world, but it’s felt overwhelming lately.

I care about working with each and every client to recognize their unique strengths and struggles, and figure out together what works for them, (even if it means getting creative!)
I believe in steering away from seeing pain as pathology, and instead, being with you in the human experiences that make you who you are, and recognizing the strengths that you already possess. Fundamentally, I understand and work with how trauma impacts the body, and recognize the wisdom of the body in therapy.

I am committed to generating value for clients by focusing on their abilities, goals and strengths, as well as recognizing the importance of being flexible, accessible and collaborative.

I offer a safe, non-judgmental and nurturing space for clients to express themselves and process difficult feelings, life transitions and daily struggles.

I enjoy helping clients who are working towards (re)discovering their authentic selves. Often this means working with clients who have/are experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, body image struggles, substance misuse, and/or ADHD. I have experience working with youth and adults of all different identities.
