My career as a therapist has afforded me opportunities to work with individuals from all walks of life. I immigrated to the United States from Kiev, Ukraine and feel intimately familiar with the challenges faced by all of the groups I mentioned. I am able to work with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families and treat a wide variety of presenting issues including anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, adjustment difficulties, grief / loss, relationship problems, family conflict, and addiction. I am proud member of Chicagoland’s Ukraine Community and am fluent in the Russian and Ukrainian languages.

Are you dealing with recurring relationship problems, overwhelming anxiety or panic, paralyzing perfectionism or procrastination, intense sadness or anger, unhealthy habits, illness or somatic symptoms, or identity concerns? I am dedicated to helping individuals and couples on a path toward better self-understanding, emotional attunement, empathy, responsibility, and agency. Our goal would be to uncover shaping life experiences, identify patterns, and work on enhanced flexibility and intentionality in choices and actions. In my therapeutic approach I rely on relational, classical, and bodymind psychodynamic perspectives.

My clinical interests include depression and anxiety, trauma recovery, grief and loss, neurodivergence, and issues related to life transitions, relationships, and parenting. I used to teach at the Davidson Academy of Nevada, which serves profoundly gifted students, and have a special passion for working with gifted/2E folks and their families. I'm also a graduate of PDA North America's certification program in the PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) profile of autism.

I take a compassionate, warm, and collaborative approach to connect with my clients and understand their goals for improving their quality of life. If you are feeling stressed and overwhelmed, I can help you to feel empowered to face challenges in your life. I work with clients who have issues related to anxiety, stress, and depression.

Life is full of “shoulds.” Family, friends, and society often have a very clear idea of the path we’re supposed to be on, but we believe that peace and empowerment lie in finding your own path- worrying less about the expectations of others and more about what you want your life to look like. Taking an alternative path or changing route along the way is difficult. Therapy can help as you strive to be true to yourself on the journey. We offer a space where individuals learn to utilize their personal strengths to live their most meaningful lives, develop fulfilling relationships, and find true liberation.

The SpringSource team is growing and we have immediate availability for new clients!

I believe that autonomy and intrinsic motivation are key elements in creating positive change. The stress of living in a complicated, fast-paced world can make it difficult to find these things within ourselves. Maybe you're feeling stuck, looking to make a change, or just need a supportive environment to help you cope. My goal is to provide a collaborative therapeutic relationship and a non-judgmental, respectful, welcoming space in which my clients can develop insight into their own strengths and values, as well as the challenges that may be inhibiting personal growth.

My art as a therapist lies in creating a safe and nonjudgmental environment in which my clients feel embraced and empowered to explore new possibilities. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or simply seeking a more fulfilling life, I'm here to offer you a personalized treatment approach tailored to your unique needs. It can be challenging and disheartening to face struggles alone, but together we can embark on a transformative journey to break free from old patterns.

My interest includes cross-cultural issues with couples, individual therapy, and group therapy. I have extensive experience working with adults who are coping with trauma, domestic violence, struggle with depression, anxiety and addiction.

The therapeutic relationship gives clients a chance to safely explore new effective coping mechanisms to improve the quality of their lives. I have significant clinical experience working with the Latino and Native American communities.Clients have the power to infuse new meaning into their lives and experience fulfillment

I see therapy as a secure space where people can explore who they are and how they can overcome whatever obstacles they may face without fear of judgment. I approach my position with compassion, patience, and a sense of humor. Opening up to a stranger is not easy, and I respect the work it takes on a client's end to participate in therapy. Clients can gain a greater sense of insight into who they are by reflecting on their identity, life experiences, and relationships with themselves and others. My background includes work with survivors of childhood trauma, LGBTQ+ clients, older adults, refugees, and young men.

I am passionate about helping my clients thrive and embark on a path of personal growth. I enjoy working with adult clients who are ready to gain insight into their lives, behaviors, and patterns. I firmly believe in our capacity for self-healing, and through a collaborative approach, we can unlock powerful insights and achieve personal growth. My therapeutic style is direct yet warm and compassionate. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can begin their therapeutic journey. I am EMDR trained and have found this modality to be extremely helpful in moving clients out of a place of feeling stuck.

I specialize in trauma, anxiety, panic disorders, depression, PTSD and cPTSD. I help my clients work through stress, conflicts, difficult relationships, abuse, manipulation, chronic feelings of “stuck,” life transitions (divorce, break - ups, career changes, immigration/move), and chronic illness.
