You've held it together for years. But something has shifted, you feel exhausted, anxious, or quietly disconnected, and you're not sure why. Perhaps you've been part of a system — institutional, professional, or cultural — that slowly wore you down. Or you're a reflective, high-achieving person living with anxiety, depression, or panic that no longer stays hidden. I'm an integrative therapist specialising in trauma, moral injury, anxiety, and displacement. As a Ukrainian refugee, I bring lived understanding of identity and belonging. I work in Ukrainian, Russian, and English. You don't have to figure this out alone. Let's talk
I specialise in institutional trauma, moral injury, displacement, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Using evidence-based approaches, I combine psychoeducation, practical tools (grounding, breathing, CBT, imagery), and emotional processing—all trauma-informed and collaborative.
If you've survived difficult systems or transitions and feel broken inside, I want you to know: you're not. Your nervous system is responding exactly as it should. Your exhaustion makes complete sense, and it can change. Therapy doesn't have to be endless. With the right support, you can find steady ground again. I'm here to walk that path with you.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, panic attacks, trauma, displacement, or major life transitions. We'll explore together and build practical tools for sustainable change. If you're high-functioning but exhausted, or struggling with depression and anxiety, therapy doesn't have to be endless. Most clients notice improved clarity and reduced anxiety within the first month.

As an integrative therapist with CBT core, I do not believe that one therapeutic approach suits everyone. I'm drawing from several evidence-based approaches. The focus of our work is shaped by your needs, values, capacity, and goals — and it can evolve over time. Some clients need structure and clarity; others need safety and depth. We decide together what's most helpful at each stage.
