I would describe myself as Creative, Compassionate and Competent.
Originally from Ukraine, I received the best education on both continents. Evolving abroad, I was able to work with clients from all over the world, helping people of different backgrounds, ethnicities and belief systems.
Being a wife of a veteran and a mother helps me to understand the needs and challenges faced by military members, as well as their spouses and family members, currently serving and following separation from military service.
My education and years of experience have made me particularly knowledgeable and sensitive to a wide variety of issues.
With nearly two decades of experience in the field, it has been an honor to provide therapy in different countries, states, cities, working with local agencies, community services and in private practice, as well as to serve different communities including military, women, refugees, LGBTQ, etc.
When I’m not seeing clients, I love to spend time with my family and friends, cook, take care of my pets and my home garden.
I admire history and enjoy exploring different cultures.
I can lose track of time with a good book, in antique stores and hunting for unique items in flea markets.
That everyone has a source of inner freedom inside. As your therapist, my goal is to aid your recovery process so that you can become a better version of you and access your strengths and resources.
My goal is not to keep you on as a client forever but to empower you to function better on your own!
Just ask yourself what risk you would take if you knew you could not fail.
