Practice Information

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Whether you’re feeling stuck, stressed, or unsure about your next steps, or facing challenges in your relationship, I’m here to help you find clarity, support, and practical ways forward.

What Therapy Looks Like

In our sessions, the focus is on you and your experiences. Whether we’re meeting individually or as a couple, therapy is a safe, trauma-informed space where you can speak openly, explore thoughts and feelings, and begin making sense of what’s been hard to carry on your own. Together, we’ll slow down, notice patterns, and discover new ways of approaching challenges — at a pace that feels right for you.

I use a mix of evidence-informed approaches, including CBT, Psychodynamic Therapy, DBT, and for couples, the Gottman Method, so we can tailor each session to your unique needs. To learn more about my approach and resources, you can visit my website. 

Individual Therapy

  • Anxiety, stress, or ADHD
  • Trauma and grief
  • Life transitions and periods of change
  • Self-understanding and emotional clarity

Couples Therapy

Helps partners:

  • Notice patterns in their relationship
  • Resolve conflicts and rebuild trust
  • Reconnect emotionally — including challenges like infidelity or ongoing tension
    I use the Gottman Method, offering practical, research-informed tools to improve communication, deepen connections, and strengthen emotional intimacy. I also draw on CBT, Psychodynamic Therapy, DBT, and other evidence-informed approaches, tailored to your unique needs.

Book a Free Consultation

You don’t have to figure this out alone. I offer a free 20-minute online consultation. It’s a chance to ask questions, see if we’re a good fit, and explore how therapy might support you or your relationship — in English or Russian.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) in BC, a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) in many Canadian provinces, and a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) in Ontario.
