You may be doing your best to keep everything together while feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or disconnected inside. Maybe you have searched Google, asked ChatGPT or Gemini, or read through Reddit trying to make sense of what you are going through. You may have a sense that something is not working, but not be sure why or what is behind it. In therapy, you can talk about what is going on and develop a deeper understanding of yourself and the patterns that shape how you relate to yourself and others. We can explore what may be behind the ways you think, feel, and respond, including how past experiences may still affect you.

In couples therapy, I work with partners who care about each other but keep getting caught in conflict or growing further apart. I also work with couples dealing with infidelity and betrayal. Using the Gottman Method and attachment-based approaches, we can understand what is happening between you, and find better ways to communicate and reconnect.

In individual therapy, I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, grief, relationship problems, and life transitions. I offer practical tools when they are helpful. Online therapy is offered across Canada in English and Russian. If you are wondering whether therapy might help, you are welcome to book a free consultation
