About me
I am a business and clinical psychologist from Berlin. As a Russian-speaking immigrant with over 20 years of experience living in Berlin, I am also fluent in German and work with clients from different cultural backgrounds. I have 5 years of experience as a business psychologist in Human Resources. During my last studies I got some experience at a psychiatric hospital. Since 2022 I work as a psychologist at a family counseling center and provide psychological support for parents and families. I also run my own online practice since 2020 focusing on areas such as personal development, anxiety, self-esteem, family conflicts, identity and relationship issues.

Approach
The interesting thing about psychology is that we can only perceive and understand the mental life of others on the basis of our own experiences. By getting closer to our real selves, we are bound to improve the quality of interaction with others. This is why I am fascinated by the psychodynamic approach, which is based on the theories of psychoanalysis. It is more than a concept of mental disorders and their treatments. It is always a way to a deeper self-awareness and personal wholeness. Unlike psychoanalysis, in the psychodynamic method we work in the present, with current themes and currently available resources, while referring to the client's biography. In addition to the psychodynamic approach, I also use in my work the integrative methods of the third wave of Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapy.
