Psychotherapist

(she/her)

​​No one should face difficult times alone.

Are you feeling lost, hurt from past trauma, worried about the future, ashamed of your eating habits, insecure about your body, or feeling out of place while adapting to a new culture? There’s hope for you.

I believe in healing. I believe in relationship restoration. I believe in new beginnings. Whether you were hurt by your family, church, partner, system, diet culture, or military conflict, there’s hope for you. 

I take a somatic approach to healing; I believe that the mind and body are interconnected and must be treated together. My work incorporates psychodynamic theory, Lifespan Integration (a gentle, body-based therapeutic method which deals with trauma), CBT-E (one of the leading evidence-based treatments for eating disorders), and meditation. 

I received my Masters in Mental Health Counseling from Northwest University. Beyond private practice, I’ve gained experience at an eating disorder treatment facility and a non-profit serving refugees and immigrants. There I worked with individuals struggling with eating disorders, poverty, depression, anxiety, medical problems, and various forms of abuse and trauma.

I am passionate about helping people connect to their inner strength and beauty. Seeing my clients find peace with themselves and their past makes me absolutely love this work. I myself have been through dark places, hopeless, and ashamed. I spent years feeling out of control, in a constant battle with myself until counseling showed me that life doesn’t have to be so hard. I found healing, and now I am here to support you on your journey to well-being.

In addition to English, I speak Russian and Belarusian.
