My name is Maria, and I’m an experienced psychologist with a deep passion for helping people create meaningful, confident, and balanced lives. For over five years, I’ve been working with clients across the world — guiding them through personal and professional challenges with empathy, clarity, and practical results.
Originally trained in financial management, I later followed my true calling and earned a Master’s degree in Existential Psychology. This unique background allows me to combine a structured, goal-oriented approach with profound emotional insight.
For several years, I provided both in-person and online therapy in Russia, and since moving to Paris, I’ve focused on online consultations — making it easy for clients from different countries and cultures to access support wherever they are.
I currently live in Paris with my partner and stepson. In my free time, I love immersing myself in cinema and theatre — from the emotional depth of Lars von Trier and the wit of Woody Allen to the unique storytelling of Paul Thomas Anderson and Jafar Panahi. I’m passionate about creativity in all its forms — art, books, and meaningful conversations with friends from around the world keep my perspective open and my work deeply human.
Having gone through the experience of immigration myself, I understand the complexity of adaptation and transformation it brings — both challenging and enriching. This personal journey has strengthened my ability to support clients through periods of change, uncertainty, and self-discovery.
I dedicate a lot of time to exploring the connection between body, mind, and psyche. Through Pilates, yoga, and various relaxation and grounding techniques, I cultivate balance and resilience — qualities I aim to share and foster in my therapeutic work as well.
