About me
I was born in Ukraine, spent the last four years living in Latin America, and am currently relocating to Barcelona.
I work with people who experience: • challenges of living abroad, including loneliness and a lack of belonging • low self-esteem and difficulties with self-worth • depression and anxiety • chronic procrastination and feeling stuck • burnout and perfectionism • PTSD and childhood trauma • grief and loss
You don’t need to know exactly what’s “wrong” or have clear goals before starting — we can explore this together.
Finding the right therapist isn’t easy, especially when there are so many options. If you’re reading this and something resonates, I invite you to book a free initial session so we can see whether working together feels like a good fit. You’re welcome to send me a private message.

Approach
My primary framework is Positive Cross-Cultural Psychotherapy, which integrates psychodynamic, behavioral, and cross-cultural perspectives. This means we explore how past experiences shape present difficulties, experiment with new ways of thinking and acting, and take into account cultural and individual context.
At the same time, my work is fundamentally multimodal. I draw on existential coaching, Nonviolent Communication, Internal Family Systems (IFS), schema therapy, EMDR, and other approaches, adapting the process to each client’s needs. I pay particular attention to helping clients develop self-compassion, emotional awareness, and the capacity to care for themselves without guilt.
I work on two interconnected levels. On a deeper level, we focus on insight, understanding, and healing — those “aha moments” that bring clarity about inner patterns, emotions, and past wounds. On a practical level, we translate this understanding into everyday life by experimenting with new ways of communicating, setting boundaries, organizing time, and making choices that align with personal values. When appropriate, I may also suggest books, articles, or podcasts to support the therapeutic process between sessions.
Clients often describe me as empathic and attentive, while also valuing my ability to gently highlight patterns that limit their well-being. I see therapy as both support in difficult periods and a space for meaningful self-exploration and personal growth.
