About me

I’m a certified gestalt therapist and clinical psychologist based in Moscow, working with adults both online and offline. My approach is grounded in attentive presence, real dialogue, and the belief that each person already holds the key to their own changes. I work with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, burnout, relationship difficulties, identity questions, and emotional numbness. With a background in philosophy and art, I value depth, honesty, and the ability to stay with complex feelings without rushing toward quick fixes. Therapy with me is not about advice or correction — it’s a space where your experience can become clearer, fuller, and more alive.

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.
Gestalt therapyRecommended for those who want to focus on the present and take responsibility for their feelings and actions to promote personal growth.
Sex therapyRecommended for individuals or couples who want help improving their sex life, intimacy, or overcoming sexual issues in a supportive environment.
In my practice, I combine the principles of gestalt therapy — presence, awareness, and contact — with a flexible, intuitive style. I don't apply ready-made formulas. Instead, I follow what emerges between us in the session: words, silence, emotions, and bodily signals. I aim to create a space where you're not being judged or corrected, but heard and met. That’s where change begins — not by force, but through clarity and ownership of your experience.
