Are you invested in perfection and stifled by fears of failure and success? Do you neglect yourself and take care of others? Are you easily enraged or overwhelmed and struggling to manage your moods? Are you feeling isolated and struggling with personal relationships? If any of these issues resonate for you, I am here to listen and help. I approach therapy as a process that allows you to be honest with yourself and every facet of your experience. We will explore your inner world and put words to your past and present experiences. As your self-understanding grows, inhibitions and anxieties dissipate and you will feel more alive.
I am sensitive to dynamics of gender, race, ethnicity, class, sexuality, and trauma. I have extensive experience working with queer, trans, non-binary, and gender non-conforming or questioning adults and adolescents. I welcome Russian/English bi-lingual speakers and anyone navigating issues connected to immigration and acculturation.
I practice psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, which is a more intensive form of psychotherapy. I believe that therapy is an interactive process in which both the person seeking therapy and the therapist are actively engaged. Together, we will discover the inner resources that will help you make important changes to your life.
