About me
My professional journey started in Russia where I was trained as a nurse and later mental health professional. In 2017, we moved to Canada where I had to start from scratch and establish my private practice in Toronto. Working in such a multicultural city with many immigrants enriched my professional and personal experience and helped me to see the world from multiple perspectives which my clients are generously sharing with me.

Approach
During my career, I was trained in a variety of approaches, but Mentalization-based treatment is at the core of my heart and practice. Even though I'm using strictly manualized treatment like Written Exposure Therapy for PTSD when it's necessary, most of the time, therapy with me is a creative space and open dialogue aims to improve mentalizing - the process through which we make sense of each other and ourselves, implicitly and explicitly, in terms of subjective states and mental processes.
