I offer holistic, evidence-based therapy in English and Russian. My approach is honest and direct, grounded in care and respect. When helpful, I provide clear, compassionate feedback that supports you in exploring difficult experiences at a pace that feels safe and manageable. You won’t face vulnerable moments alone. Our work fosters relief, clarity, self-trust, and self-acceptance, creating a deeper sense of inner steadiness and ease. Together, we untangle stuck patterns, strengthen emotional resilience, and help you move toward a more grounded, confident, and fully engaged version of yourself.
I believe healing often begins with the body, and sessions may include nervous system regulation, somatic awareness, and mindful attention alongside talk therapy. Therapy integrates CBT, ACT, DBT-informed interventions, mindfulness-based practices, somatic and polyvagal-informed approaches, and trauma-informed care.
Taking the first step toward therapy is often the hardest, and your courage has already begun the process of change. I’d be honored to help you uncover your strengths, embrace your uniqueness, and grow in a supportive space — whether indoors, outdoors in nature, or virtually.
