If you’re ready to do the work, grow, and create meaningful change, I’m here to walk alongside you. My approach is compassionate, engaged, open, and honest. My intention is to help you feel seen, heard, and understood as we explore the experiences, emotions, and patterns that may make life feel difficult. In my view, therapy is twofold: awareness—understanding yourself and processing unresolved experiences—and action—living your values and creating meaningful change. Together, we can build self-understanding, remove barriers to healthy functioning, and help you cultivate a fulfilling and meaningful life. My own journey of growth has helped me understand that vulnerability is not weakness—it is often where our greatest strength and change begin. My background as a yoga instructor and massage therapist has also shaped my holistic understanding of mental and emotional wellness, and the important connection between mind and body. As a two-time immigrant, I understand the challenges of starting over and finding belonging. I speak Russian, German, and English fluently. If you’re looking for a therapist who is empathetic, engaged, always learning, and willing to walk with you through both the hard and hopeful parts of growth, I’d be honored to work with you.
