Hi! My name is Lana, and I believe in the importance of feeling connected in relationships, to our environment, and to ourselves. Addressing the “here and now” that arises during therapy allows our sessions to adapt and work with the difficult emotions or thoughts that come up in an environment that is judgment free and safe. I primarily specialize in working with those who are experiencing agoraphobia, anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, self-esteem or identity issues, grief and chronic pain, among other concerns. I'm LGBTQIA+ affirming and enjoy working with clients along the spectrum of neurodiversity and disability.
I use an eclectic approach in practice, combining elements from multiple practice modalities to suit your needs. In particular, I often draw from humanistic psychology, systems theory, and existentialism in the exploration of self and addressing barriers to living the authentic life you want. I offer "walk and talk" therapy in-person when appropriate too.
I prioritize empathy, establishing safety, compassion, and building a strong rapport and therapeutic relationship to facilitate positive change. I endeavor to explore with you your unique experiences, contexts, connections with others and the world around us. In this space to heal, we can foster resiliency, promote healing, and achieve self-discovery.

I have had the opportunity to work with Svetlana, and I was able to see her champion and encourage others day after day. Her kindness and unconditional acceptance of others make her a trustworthy person to confide in. Couldn't recommend her enough!
