Russian Therapists in Montgomery County, NY

I cannot move mountains for you, but I can help you climb. Facing fears, healing from loss, finding meaning and joy - these are the inevitable tasks of life. Therapy may be your first step or your last resort. Often people avoid it all together because they believe their pain is too great, worry they will be judged or that their situation is too complicated. Some people believe they should solve problems on their own or only with family and friends. However, while family and friends may want the best for us, they often come with opinions or past hurts. Sometimes it helps to have a safe space outside your daily experience.

If anxiety, stress or lack of motivation is holding you back or making everyday life more difficult, please reach out to me for a free consultation. Together, my clients and I work to "make friends with our anxiety." This means, rather than seeing anxiety and stress as our enemy, we listen to what it's trying to tell us and learn to use it to our benefit. Rather than struggling against our feelings, our work will focus on understanding them and using them to help us achieve our goals and live a full life. I also specialize in relationship/family issues, ADHD, trauma, and college mental health.

Are you living through hard times in your relationships? Do you feel life is unmanageable and nothing is going your way? Therapy can help! I am a licensed marriage and family therapist and licensed psychoanalyst and have been working with individuals, couples and families for over 20 years in counseling centers and in private practice. I will help you connect painful past with current problems, resolve them, and realize your potential. I can help you change challenging family dynamics and improve parent/child relationships. I can help adolescents with their struggles at school, at home, or in social situations.

Birth and motherhood are meant to be addictive. Yet so many of us feel anxious in pregnancy, experience birth trauma and struggle postpartum. In a culture where mothers are not supported, and the system prioritizes "safety" above all, women are often left stuck in survival stress after birth of their child. But please know that healing, love, and joy is available for you. Whether you wish to process and integrate your birth experience, prepare for the transition to the new role, or address your hopes and needs in pregnancy or postpartum, I am here to walk alongside and hold space for you as you navigate the perinatal journey.

Over the course of the past 20 years, I have had the honor of treating youth, adults, families, and couples who have worked through adjustment issues, grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, identity, relationship challenges, infertility, coping with a chronic illness, and conflict resolution.

Clients who come to see me are looking for help and support—sometimes the issues are clear, and other times exploration and discovery are as much of the healing process as is “figuring it out.” Therapy is an interactive process and clients can expect me to be active during sessions. My clients know that my priority is creating a space where they feel heard and can find a sense of safety—
