Few things are harder than struggling alone. You might be holding onto pain from your family, friends, or past relationships. Or it could feel like you're stuck inside a traumatic event that chains your life. It might feel like no one understands how deeply sad, intensely angry, or desperately helpless you feel. But you're not alone. Healing from trauma is not just a concept; it is an attainable reality. It would be an honor to be invited on your journey towards healing, reparation and building a life worth living. I believe the goal of therapy is not just to stop the suffering, but to create a sustained life of thriving and joy.

Are you feeling confused, stuck or overwhelmed by life experiences? At times, it can be difficult to see the full picture when you’re inside the frame. I strive to create a safe environment for each client, one where compassion and curiosity can lead to change and finding your most authentic self. In a safe, empathic space, we will explore your relationships, patterns of thinking and feeling, and the meanings behind them. I have experience working in mental health clinics as well as palliative care and oncology. I hope to help you cope with life's various stressors and understand yourself in ways you’ve never considered.

Do you feel that depression and discontent follow you around like a quiet shadow? Do you worry that you don't deserve your success even when you receive praise and recognition from others? Do you often feel utterly alone even with the ones most close to you? I am a kind of therapist that can help you recover your vitality and wholeness, grow into a deep sense of confidence, and create relationships where you feel loved for who you are. Many of my patients have complex heritages and have experienced cultural tensions, demographic transitions, and identity shifts. I offer therapy in English and Russian.

I center culture and the intersectionality of your identities in my work as a therapist. I was trained psychodynamically, which means that I pay close attention to unconscious processes guiding your behavior. I offer insight into these dynamics to help you move forward with your life goals. My clinical interventions are also grounded in efforts to challenge the ways in which you may be affected by systems of oppression.

Do you yearn to be in a fulfilling relationship, where you feel alive, desired, and connected to your partner? It can be easy to fall into the trap of thinking that your relationship problems are "just a cycle" or that "all marriages go through this”. You may find yourself feeling sad and hopeless about your marriage being stuck in a rut for too long, but you can turn this around. You can transform your intimate relationship into a vibrant and sexy connection with your partner. With me, you’ll learn how to explore, experiment, and express your intimate desires, plus gain access to effective communication tools to take home.

I am a licensed psychotherapist with over 15 years of experience successfully working with a wide variety of individuals. My passion lies in supporting and helping my clients process difficult times in their lives. Specifically, I can best help with issues like the death of a loved one, acute and chronic illness, life transitions, relationship issues, eating disorders and weight management, self-esteem vulnerabilities, social media confrontations, depression, and general life anxieties. My interactive clinical approach is one that is fully adaptable to my client’s needs.

I work with individuals and couples who would like to gain a deeper understanding of their internal processes, thoughts and behaviors. I provide psychodynamic and supportive psychotherapy for patients who struggle with various issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, trauma and body image.

Life can be difficult at times. For many of us protecting ourselves from knowing our suffering can take the form of troubling emotional symptoms, self-destructiveness as well as anxieties and inhibitions. Yet it is precisely these symptoms we must take the time to listen to as messages communicating something essential and understandable about our suffering, fears, and wishes - the emotional meanings of our personal history. By listening to you closely and carefully, we will explore together thoughts and feelings that were previously unknown to you yet powerfully affect your life. Talking changes the way things look.
