I’m an LMFT dedicated to serving my community with compassion, curiosity, and deep respect for your unique experience. I offer space to explore feelings, process the past, and reconnect with your voice — whether you’re grieving, healing from trauma, navigating change, or seeking a deeper connection to yourself. Together, we’ll explore not just your pain, but your resilience, needs, and what’s possible for you. Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” you; it’s about supporting you to reclaim who you truly are. I offer services in English and Russian, and partner with interpreters to provide seamless, effective multilingual care.
I have Level 1 Certified Training in IFS Therapy. My therapeutic approach is relational, trauma-informed, and integrative. I draw from humanistic therapy, somatic awareness, IFS, non-violent communication (NVC), and mindfulness-based approaches. We’ll work at your pace, always in collaboration. I additionally offer art therapy and play therapy for clients.
You may be carrying a heavy grief, a story of trauma, or the quiet confusion that comes from big life changes. Or maybe you’ve reached a point where you’re asking, “Who am I really, and what do I need?” Whether your pain is raw and recent or buried and longstanding, you're not alone—and you don’t have to sort through it all by yourself.
