My approach blends academic rigor with genuine human warmth. As an English-speaking psychotherapist in Moscow, I specialize in working with expats, international professionals, and multicultural clients, offering a safe space where you can explore your struggles without judgment.  

My practice welcomes people from all backgrounds, including the LGBTQ+ community, and I am passionate about providing affirming, inclusive care. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship conflicts, or questions of identity and belonging, my goal is to help you feel understood, empowered, and equipped with real tools for change.  

How I Work: Tailored Therapy for Your Unique Needs  

I believe therapy should be as unique as you are. While my foundation is in psychodynamic therapy (which explores how past experiences shape your present), I also integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when helpful, giving you both insight and practical strategies.  

- For individuals, we’ll work together to uncover unconscious patterns, process difficult emotions, and develop healthier ways of coping. Whether you’re struggling with self-esteem, life transitions, or deeper wounds from the past, therapy can help you move forward with greater confidence.  

- For couples, I focus on improving communication, rebuilding trust, and breaking negative cycles. Relationships can bring both joy and pain; my role is to help you and your partner understand each other more deeply and create a stronger bond.

• Identity & Relationships

Why Therapy? And Why With Me?  

Life can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re far from home, navigating a different culture, or facing personal struggles that seem too big to handle alone. Therapy offers a space where you don’t have to.  

What sets my practice apart:  

- Cultural sensitivity: As someone who works extensively with expats and international clients, I understand the unique pressures of living abroad.  

- Flexibility in methods: I adapt my approach to fit you, not the other way around.  

- A balance of depth and practicality: Some therapists focus only on exploring feelings; others only give quick fixes. I believe in both understanding the roots of your struggles while also giving you real tools to feel better.  

Beyond the Session: My Commitment to You  

Therapy isn’t just my job-it’s my passion. I stay updated on the latest research, attend specialized trainings, and continually reflect on how to provide the best care possible. When I’m not working with clients, you always find me available for help.
