About me

I am a psychologist, originally from Moscow, and now I live and work online from Montenegro. Before becoming a psychologist, I worked as a cosmetologist for 10 years — this experience gave me valuable skills in communication and the ability to notice subtle nuances in people’s states.

I am also a creative person: I used to sing in a church choir, I enjoy painting and poetry, and I love discovering beauty and meaning in different aspects of life. Traveling is another passion of mine, as it allows me to explore new cultures and gain a deeper understanding of myself and others.

I have an adult son, and together we moved from Moscow to Montenegro. Family, support, and caring for loved ones are very important to me, and this personal experience also enriches my work with clients.

Russian

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.
Couples therapySupport for couples working through problems and who want to gain insight into the relational dynamics that contribute to the problem.
Humanistic psychologyRecommended for those looking for a therapy that emphasizes personal growth and self-fulfillment, focusing on becoming your best self in a positive, non-judgmental space.
Transactional analysisRecommended for those who want to understand and improve their interactions with others by exploring the roles they take on in relationships.

I practice existential therapy, which is grounded in the key concepts of freedom, responsibility, and the search for meaning. This approach helps clients connect with themselves more deeply, open up to the possibilities the world offers, and navigate life’s crises with greater resilience.

In our sessions, we will engage in thoughtful conversation. I will ask guiding questions that allow you to better understand yourself and the challenges you are facing. Together, we will explore your emotions, experiences, and inner conflicts. I will help you uncover the roots of what troubles you. At times, I may suggest practical exercises or offer homework tasks designed to support and accelerate your therapeutic process.

What I will not do is give ready-made advice. As in the old Russian tale about Prince Ivan, who comes across a stone in the forest with an inscription: “If you go right, you will lose your sword; left, your horse; straight ahead, your life.” In therapy, too, we often face crossroads. My role is to help you see the direction clearly, while the choice of which path to take will always remain yours.

If you are seeking to break free from codependent family dynamics, heal the impact of childhood trauma, overcome anxiety, or move through your fears — I will walk alongside you in this process. I believe in your capacity to create change and to build a life that feels authentic and fulfilling.
