About
The biggest desire I have in my life is to help people. In this difficult time, everyone needs someone to rely on and navigate through life's challenges. I am an experienced counselor who is passionate about working with children, adolescents, and adults who struggle with OCD, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and trauma. My treatment approach is based on CBT, Exposure Therapy, DBT, REBT, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Utilizing evidence-based therapies ensures that my patients are receiving the most up-to-date, effective, and efficient therapeutic interventions available.
Having the lived experience as a bilingual and bicultural person, I possess a unique understanding of the impact of culture on our experiences, self-worth, and approach to life. I am adept at helping children of immigrants address needs special to their situation (e.g., fears of "fitting in", other anxiety-related problems, depression).
I received professional training working with families, children, and adolescents from Governors State University, have a certification as a substance abuse counselor, and attend conferences and advanced trainings regularly. I communicate fluently in English and Russian.
