For nearly 30 years, I've helped people untangle the patterns that keep showing up in their relationships, moods, and how they see themselves. I work with teens, adults, and seniors, in English or Russian, and believe no single approach fits everyone. Ready for a therapist who listens closely and adapts to you? Reach out.
My approach centers on psychodynamic therapy: looking beneath the surface at patterns from your past that still shape your thoughts, moods, and relationships today. From there I draw on whatever fits the moment, using cognitive behavioral therapy to examine thoughts that feel like facts, trauma focused techniques to process what still runs the day, and strength based, family focused work when the people around you matter to the picture. I've spent almost three decades doing this work across settings, from private practice to hospitals and long term care, and treat every client, teen through older adult, as someone with real strengths to build on.
Your first session with me is a conversation, not an interview. I'll ask what brought you in and what you have already tried, then start mapping where the patterns are and what is likely to help. Sessions run in English or Russian, by telehealth. Most clients leave the first visit feeling like someone finally understood the whole picture, not just the symptom.
