About me

I completed my education in Kyiv Institute of Modern Psychology and Psychotherapy, in 2022, with master's degree in clinical psychology. In the meantime, I additionally trained in Relational Life Therapy and Emotionally-Focused therapy.

On a more personal note, as someone who comes from a marginalized, misinterpreted, misrepresented and colonised part of society, I deeply connect to the other individuals who carry the consequences of generational abuse done to them throughout the history. I am familiar with the life in immigration, with experience of living in China and then Amsterdam. I am also on a journey of a parenthood, navigating a life with a toddler.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
EFT: Emotionally focused therapyRecommended for couples or individuals who want to strengthen emotional connections in relationships by exploring feelings and attachment.
Family therapyRecommended for families who want to resolve conflicts, improve communication, and understand each other better within the family dynamic.
PsychoanalysisRecommended for those who want to explore how their unconscious mind and early experiences affect their current behaviors and feelings.
I believe that all the troubles in relationship come from communication issues that leave us unheard, unseen, misunderstood, and in the end, - alone. What can be worse than feeling lonely while laying right next to your loved one? What can be more suffocating than not finding words to express what you truly feel? And when you do find those words, it feels like they crash over dead wall? You might have noticed yourself, how often a small argument escalates into an emotional fight, where the initial subject is forgotten and instead, you and your partner are running the vicios circle of proving who is right and who is wrong. In the end, that leads to even more distance and loneliness.

I specialize in helping couples regain trust after infidelity and build secure attachment by healing from different traumas, obtained from within or outside of the relationship. To do so, I use EFT combined with RLT approach that helps to get rid of old patterns and replace them with new, more efficient. Both approaches are designed to guide couples into healthy relationship, that are built on trust, understanding, support, acceptance and validation.

Beside couple therapy, I work with individuals who suffer (-ed) from narcissistic abuse. My focus is on a relational way of working with one-to-one adult patients in long-term psychotherapy.
