I offer a warm, supportive space where you can slow down, gain clarity, and reconnect with your inner strength and sense of calm. I welcome kids, teens adults, as well as couples, who are looking to navigate life’s challenges and build more fulfilling, balanced lives.

I believe that each person carries a deep well of resilience, wisdom, and hope. My work focuses on helping you connect and learn skills to move through major life transitions, trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting challenges. Together, we take a collaborative, whole-person approach, working at a pace that feels right for you. My role is to walk alongside you as a supportive guide, helping you tap into that inner resource while honoring you as the expert of your own experience. In my work with adults, I draw from emotion-focused, narrative, and attachment-based approaches to help you better understand your experiences, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful change. Together, we explore your story with curiosity and compassion, making space for new perspectives and deeper emotional connection.

When working with children, I use play therapy to honor their natural curiosity and support their sense of autonomy. I also incorporate Sandtray Therapy, offering a creative and nonverbal way for children (and adults) to communicate thoughts and feelings through visual, tactile, and symbolic expression without the pressure of having to find the “right” words.

As a bilingual therapist, I’m able to provide services in both English and Russian, creating comfort and accessibility for a diverse range of clients. Outside of my work, I enjoy drawing, getting lost in a good book, and exploring new places through travel.
