About me
My journey into psychotherapy grew from a long-standing fascination with people—their stories, values, and the ways they make sense of their lives. Before studying psychology, I earned a degree in International Relations, which deepened my understanding of human experience across different cultures and perspectives. Over time, this interest naturally led me to pursue a career in psychology.
I trained in counselling and logotherapy, earned a Master's degree in Psychology, and became a member of the Association for Existential Analysis and Logotherapy.
In my work, I draw on existential therapy and logotherapy, approaches that view each person as a whole rather than focusing solely on symptoms. Emotional difficulties such as anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, or a sense of emptiness rarely exist in isolation. They can affect our bodies, our thoughts and emotions, our relationships, and our sense of meaning and direction in life.
For this reason, I believe it is important to consider the whole person rather than focusing solely on symptoms. Together, we explore not only what is causing distress, but also the personal values, strengths, and possibilities that can support meaningful and lasting change.
I believe that people have an innate capacity for growth, resilience, and transformation. My role is to provide a supportive and reflective space where clients can better understand themselves, navigate life's challenges, and move toward a way of living that feels more authentic and aligned with who they are.

Approach
My therapeutic approach integrates insights from neuroscience with existential therapy and logotherapy, allowing for both a deeper understanding of internal processes and a meaningful exploration of one’s life experience.I believe that every person has the capacity to find meaning even in challenging circumstances.
Sessions are collaborative and reflective. I encourage open dialogue and help clients look at their experiences from new perspectives. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, we explore deeper questions about identity, life direction, and what truly matters to you.
Experience
In my private practice I work with adult clients facing a range of psychological and emotional challenges. I have experience supporting people who struggle with anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship difficulties, feelings of emptiness, and questions about meaning and life direction.
My work is especially focused on existential questions such as identity, personal values, purpose, and navigating periods of uncertainty or change. I support clients in exploring their experiences, understanding their inner conflicts, and reconnecting with their personal resources.
My therapeutic approach is based on existential psychology and logotherapy, helping clients find meaning even in difficult life circumstances. I work with clients from different cultural backgrounds and offer therapy sessions in both English and Russian.
