About me

I am a practicing psychologist and a firm believer in humanity.

In my practice I work with addiction, codependency, anxiety, stress management, depression, familial conflicts and difficult relationships between generations, burnout and overworking, consequences of abuse and neglect, and relationship challenges including separation, infidelity, and divorce.

I have supported individuals from diverse backgrounds, tailoring our work to meet the unique needs of my clients. I have worked extensively in inpatient and outpatient settings with people struggling with substance abuse and trauma.

Additionally, I have experience in supervising, training, and supporting other psychologists and psychotherapists within a framework of international organisations and projects.

Education-wise, I earned a First-Class Honours Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Dalhousie in Halifax, Canada, followed by a Master's degree in Psychology from Ludwig Maximilian's University in Munich, Germany. I also hold certificates in existential, trauma-oriented, mindfulness-focused approaches, and ACT. I am trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) Level 1 by IFS Academy and I am currently training in IFS in couples work. Moreover, I have completed trainings in working with addiction, codependence, and the consequences of abuse. Currently I am working on my PhD on trauma, depression & anxiety.

I actively participate in ongoing training and professional development. To date, I have authored and supported multiple scientific publications and investigations in the areas of addiction, development, and crisis counselling. I regularly engage in professional supervision so I can stay well and work well. My professional experiences are also complemented by over 14 years of personal therapy. I have a lot of inner resource, therefore, I won't be overwhelmed by your pain, so you can feel safe and contained to share it.

Lastly, I have completed over 200 hours of training in creative modalities of dance-movement practice, meditation, theatre-based interventions and art-focused methods of healing. Also, I am a member of German Psychological Society (DGPs) and regularly attend and present at conferences and congresses. In Germany, I hold a status of a Heilpraktiker for Psychotherapy, therefore I work not only with privately paying clients, but also with private insurances.

I am Russian-Canadian, I have changed countries and continents, therefore I can also draw from my experience of immigration, adaptation, and adjustment.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Family therapyRecommended for families who want to resolve conflicts, improve communication, and understand each other better within the family dynamic.
IFS: Internal Family SystemsRecommended for those who want to explore and heal the different parts of themselves that might feel conflicted or overwhelmed.
Trauma Informed CareRecommended for those who have experienced trauma and need a safe, supportive space to heal at their own pace.
I believe that my role is to help the river flow back to the sea. In other words, I am providing guidance, support, knowledge, sometimes re/direction, but you are the one who is ultimately able to heal yourself. Together we create a safe and non-judgmental space, where I am supporting you in the exploration of your thoughts and emotions, developing coping strategies, accepting and letting go, grieving and expressing, working towards meaningful change, and towards feeling more joy and lightness in your daily life. I work in an integrative and existential approaches, as well as in Internal Family Systems Therapy modality, where we explore internal system of Self and parts, their roles and burdens.

In my work, I am aware and can work in parallel with various 12 step self-help programs such as AA, NA, ACA, and others. I frequently work with people in long-term recovery.

I work with individuals, but also hold family and couple sessions. Please inquire about the one that speaks to you. I also lead a therapeutic group "Burnout Rehab" - let me know if you would like to find out more.

I might ask you If you are OK with my dog being present during the in-person sessions from time to time.

Commitment to Confidentiality:
Respecting the privacy and confidentiality of my clients is of the utmost importance. I adhere to the highest ethical standards, ensuring that individuals feel secure in sharing their experiences and emotions during our counselling journey. My praxis is also GDPR compliant.

Disclaimer:
Online counselling and psychotherapy do not replace medical assistance. In case of severe mental disorders or if you find yourself in an acute crisis, an in-person psychotherapist/a doctor should be consulted.

Short-notice appointments are available upon request.

Introductory free 15 minute sessions can be arranged.

Thank you for your trust and looking forward to meeting you!
