About me
I was born in Moscow, USSR, lived in Jerusalem, traveled extensively, and for the past decade have been based in Berlin with my partner and our son.
I studied programing ,journalism in London and philosophy in Jerusalem,
before ultimately finding my path in psychotherapy.
Coming from a complicated background ,and addictions , I was searching for ways back to the world . From meditations ,to psychedelics ,through psychotherapy and body practises. Some questions were easier ,with others, i am still struggling.
Rewriting you own fate ,and knowing yourself, are not easy tasks .It often takes blood, sweat, and tears. But It makes life worth living.
For me, therapy is an art form—a meeting place for light and shadow, for our longing for love and connection, for heartache, and for the fierce power of our rage.
Psychotherapeutic encounters should seduce us: gently drawing us toward change, inviting fuller lives, encouraging more honest self-expression, and deepening our connection to ourselves and to others.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
Clinical psychologyRecommended for those who need help with diagnosing and treating more complex mental health issues, often involving assessments and evidence-based treatments.
Holistic approachRecommended for those who want to address their mental health through a balanced focus on mind, body, and spirit.
Psychedelic integration therapyRecommended for those who have had psychedelic experiences and want help understanding and integrating the insights into their everyday life for personal growth and self-discovery.
My work is an integration of three main psychotherapeutic modalities: Clinical psychology, Body psychotherapy and Relational psychotherapy.
My base is traditional verbal psychotherapy. The structures of human ego, patterns and ways to work with it.
Body psychotherapy allows to read between the lines of our narratives. The body language, breath and movements.
Relational psychotherapy is about our main wound …. relationships .And how can we connect to others while being loyal and authentic to ourselves.
My style is direct, creative, and informative. I believe that understanding how our internal system functions is essential to changing it. In my work, I move between deep relational and existential exploration and concrete tools, protocols, and solutions. I lead with empathy, and I am also willing to challenge when it supports growth.
