Tired of just talk therapy? Ready for real change?
You look like you’re functioning — but inside you feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected. You’re self-aware, motivated, and ready to do deeper work. You don’t want surface-level coping anymore. You want root-cause healing, real tools, and lasting change.

I speak fluent Spanish, English and Russian.
Emotional pain may feel unbearable, but there is hope and there is help. Suffering has meaning, and feelings offer guidance. Pain sends a signal where attention is needed. You have the power to change your life and create your happiness. I help individuals find meaning and guidance in their emotions, sharpen their preferences and focus, and create the authentic life that they desire. My clients feel safe to explore their experiences and desires, become empowered and learn skills to create their joyful life experiences on a solid foundation of intimate knowledge of their unique personal and cultural identities.

My work as a therapist is based on a depth-oriented approach that focuses on how our early relationships shape the way we experience ourselves and others. I am particularly drawn to this framework because it helps illuminate patterns that often operate outside of awareness—patterns that can influence relationships, self-esteem, and emotional well-being well into adulthood.

I welcome the opportunity to work with clients at various stages of the human-life-cycle. I often work with people who feel stifled by feelings of anxiety and panic, depleted by feelings of depression, emptiness and hopelessness. While these powerful feelings can be overwhelming and disruptive, they are usually signs that something essential to our vitality, body, or relationships needs to be sensitively attended to and addressed. My goal is to assist my clients to live fuller and more satisfying lives and to achieve these goals in a short period of time. I work really hard for my clients and truly enjoy my profession.

Have you been carrying pain so long it feels normal? Do you look fine on the outside while keeping it together, showing up for others, while silently falling apart inside? Maybe anxiety has gotten too loud to ignore. Maybe depression has made getting through the day feel like an achievement. Maybe abuse, neglect, or trauma shaped the way you see yourself, and no matter how much time has passed, it keeps showing up in your mood, your relationships, and the way you talk to yourself. Or maybe you are still in the middle of it right now, trying to survive while also trying to heal. You are not broken.

I also work with immigrants and refugees, and offer therapy in Russian.
You may feel burned out, anxious, untethered—like you’ve lost your sense of self. You’re craving steadiness, clarity, and a way back to feeling like yourself again.
Starting therapy takes courage. It can feel overwhelming, unclear, and vulnerable—but you don’t have to do it alone. My role is to make the process feel more manageable, grounded, and hopeful. Together, we’ll find what works for you—your goals, your pace, your values.
I work best with adults navigating complex transitions—parenthood, identity shifts, emerging adulthood, illness, grief, or major life changes that leave you feeling uncertain or overwhelmed.

Picture this: I'm like your trusty sidekick on a quest towards a brighter, more fulfilling life, totally dedicated to cheering you on as you unravel your own unique path to personal growth. What makes me stand out? Well, I've got quite the story myself as an immigrant who took on the USA all by myself at 19. That journey? It taught me a thing or two about resilience, understanding different cultures, and most importantly, the incredible strength we all carry within. Those life-altering moments? They've shaped my approach to therapy, and now my goal is to help you tap into that inner strength, unleashing your true potential.

It is my belief that In order to feel happy and fulfilled, every person should excel in the following areas: be in good health, feel loved/accepted in personal relationships (partners, children, family), be successful in what he/she does (education, job, hobbies), and feel needed socially (belong to a group, be part of the community).

For over 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals and couples on their journey toward healing from intimacy challenges, including sex and love addiction (such as compulsive pornography use, infidelity, sex workers, romantic obsessions, AI companions). In a warm, non-judgmental, and personalized therapeutic space, I support clients in breaking free from painful, out-of-control patterns and isolation, shame, and trauma that often accompany them. You don’t have to live a double life. Together, we can work to restore your ability to be honest, loving, emotionally and sexually fulfilling intimate relationships.

At times, we all feel conflicted or unsure about the next steps in life and relationships. I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) and other evidence-based approaches to help individual clients and couples heal inner wounds, resolve relationship conflicts and cultivate a deeper sense of connection and intimacy. My aim is to help clients discover their true essence, congruency and peace, both within and with others. Through mind-body connection we can uncover and transform conscious and unconscious schemas/beliefs driving your life and release the constraints that are holding you back from moving forward.
