About me
Finding the right therapist — someone who speaks your language, understands your context, and feels safe — takes courage and patience. I work with Ukrainian and Russian-speaking adults living abroad who are going through life transitions, relationship difficulties, trauma, or simply a quiet sense that something needs to change.
My path to psychology came through engineering, and that journey gave me a particular way of seeing things — curious, structured, and genuinely interested in understanding how things work. Not just how the mind works, but how a life can work — smoothly, meaningfully, harmoniously, like a well-made watch where every part has its place.
I collaborate with NGOs supporting military personnel and their families, and I bring that experience into how I think about resilience, loss, and recovery. I work with adults only, entirely online — and I try to make every session worth your time.

Approach
My approach is eclectic — I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Transactional Analysis, and Psychodrama depending on what the client actually needs. I don't apply one method to every situation. I look at the problem first, then choose the tool.
Sessions have structure. We identify what brought you here, what you want to be different, and how we'll know we're moving in the right direction. This doesn't mean therapy is rigid — it means your time isn't wasted.
I work with anxiety, PTSD, depression, relationship difficulties, existential crises, and burnout. I also work with people who don't have a crisis — just a sense that something in how they live or relate to others isn't working, and a genuine desire to understand why.
I believe therapy should have an end — or at least a direction. If you've been in therapy before and felt like you were going in circles, that's worth talking about. My job isn't to keep you coming back. It's to help you get to a point where you feel capable, grounded, and light enough to move forward on your own terms.
