Life at times can be overwhelming. The challenges of our lived experiences, childhood trauma, financial constraints and relationships can get the better of us. For those struggling, it is not always easy to seek help. Healing can begin when you acknowledge the hurt and allow yourself to create space for it, understand it and to heal through it. I am here to offer my support by taking on a trauma focused approach where counselling sessions will help you navigate the challenges and opportunities that life send your way. We can discuss ways in which to cope while also identifying your strengths and values.

I have always had a passion for holding space for others as they confront pain and distress. I consider it my greatest privilege to emotionally support individuals as they navigate through the challenges of their life.

I am equipped to guide you through various concerns including anxiety, emotional distress, grief, trauma and loss and have worked with countless individuals, children and parents over the years.

Therapy is not so much as "what do you need from me", but rather, "what do you need from you?" Who would you like to be for yourself? My humanistic background compels me to believe that clients often carry potential for growth that may be nurtured by the therapeutic relationship. While the specifics of clients' issues may vary, ultimately, many of us wish to be heard and understood. Although therapy may be directive at times, I often allow clients to lead and exercise their capacity for change.

Offering sessions in Russian and English, my main focus is relationships. I work by peeling apart narratives surrounding the issue, educating the couple on the specific tools I used, and how to apply them independently. For individuals, I offer a toolbox of various CBT, SFT, and Narrative Therapy methodology that we collaborate on fitting and applying. After closely exploring ones relational functioning - breakups, tough relationships and family situations, I proceed to focus on immediate needs, with the aim of boosting overall functioning. Lost after trauma, or hurting day after day - If these are your issues, I may be of service.

Life challenges can feel incredibly difficult and overwhelming. I provide a safe environment where you can talk about these challenges without fear of being judged. Together we can explore your thought patterns and behaviours and their impact on your day-to-day functioning, while developing strategies and skills that will allow you to feel empowered to live life more authentically.
