About

I think finding the “right” therapist for you has to do with feeling good about that person, having a sense that being in their presence is enlivening and healthy, even when you’re working with something uncomfortable or difficult. I'm interested in holding an impeccable space for your healing, while also being collaborators.

My style is trauma-responsive, incorporating somatic(body)-based healing modalities such as Brainspotting, EMDR, guided imagery, equine therapy, and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy preparation and integration. 

I've been working together with clients in therapy for over 15 years, after a career as a public high school teacher and educator in prisons and nonprofit settings. 
I love exploring this rich and collaborative adventure of therapy and I welcome clients' grief and existential wondering. 

Although therapy can often feel appropriately cocooned in a sacred and contained space, I have seen again and again how one person's inner healing is catalytic to broader cultural transformation. I believe both are important.

Maybe you're a teen or young adult (or their parent) who is wishing for a change, to have less stress, or find support on your path to adulting. Maybe you are LGBTQIA+ community, neurodivergent, or searching for healing after surviving trauma. I'm trained in narrative therapy, suicide prevention, creative arts, and gender journey support, and I would love to help! 

My approach is strengths-based, cultural, somatic, trauma-informed, and mindful. Sometimes life is really hard! I'll be a witness to hear what you've been through, help envision the change you want, and help with next steps to clear obstacles, heal, and achieve your goals.

I became a therapist to help young people and families who need deeper assistance, after years of working with teens as a mentor in outdoor education, wilderness trips, and teen leadership. What brings you peace? You take hikes, dance, sing, write, read? We'll make and practice a wellness plan, for you to remember things you can do to get yourself unstuck.

We'll listen to your own stories of your life experience, your resilience, and growth. Let's experiment with individualized techniques and coping skills to empower you in the driver's seat of your life. The world is changing so fast, and we are all learning and finding our way. It's okay to need help! Reach out for a free chat to see if we're a good fit.

My approach is holistic and grounded in the mind-body connection. I draw from person-centered therapy, CBT, and depth psychology, as well as mindfulness and somatic practices. I also meet you where you are, which means you don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin - I see therapy as a process of discovery. I am in this with you!

Maybe you look like you’re doing okay on the outside, but inside you feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of yourself. You may find yourself overthinking, second-guessing your decisions, struggling in relationships, or repeating patterns you know aren’t working but don’t quite know how to change.

As a therapist, I offer a warm, non-judgmental, creative, and collaborative space to help you better understand yourself, explore the patterns that are keeping you stuck, and develop a stronger relationship with yourself. Together, we can work toward greater self-trust, confidence, and a deeper sense of connection to who you are and what you want.

My clients like working with me because I'm very direct, engaged, and practical. I am not just here to agree with you or validate you (though I do that, too). I create a non-judgmental space filled with warmth, compassion, and humor...a safe harbor in the midst of the chaos of life.

Let's run some experiments and get curious about how change happens for you. I will hold you accountable (in a kind and loving way). I specialize in anxiety, executive functioning, habits, sex therapy, communication skills, and releasing trauma through Brainspotting.

I would be honored to be on your team. Working on yourself is not selfish, it affects your family, your community, and the wider world. Personal liberation is collective liberation. I offer a free phone consultation to explore whether I would be a good fit.

Each one of us has a unique story, and I am genuinely curious about yours. As an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families with various challenges, including life transitions and relationship issues. Having gone through the difficulties of immigration, I am dedicated to helping those adjusting to life in the U.S, and I am fluent in Russian and welcome Russian-speaking clients. 

Additionally, I am passionate about supporting clients experiencing a spiritual awakening and seeking greater meaning. I am trained in Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy and Brainspotting and love using these modalities for spiritual expansion and trauma healing.

My goal is to create a safe space where we can explore your story together and help you achieve your desired goals. We all face challenges, and sometimes you simply need someone who can listen with compassion and acceptance, guiding you through ups and downs, or walking alongside you in life's unexpected new territory.

Your mental well-being is paramount, and I commend you for taking this first step toward a happier you. Helping others is truly my calling, and I am here to support and guide you with kindness, warmth, and empathy every step of the way. Thank you for considering me as part of your journey.
