Find yourself wanting to make sense of your behaviors and/or struggles or your child's? Curious why we act or react in certain ways? We have experiences and we all hold our own perception of those experiences which ultimately leads to behaviors. I work with clients to teach strategies, coping skills, and lead clients on a journey to a deeper understanding of themselves. I work with children, adolescents, and young adults to help them understand their interpretation of the world and how they function in it. Often times the therapeutic work involves parents due to their large influence on the client functioning at particular ages.

Everyone has the potential to unlock who they want to become and achieve a balanced life. If this is your first time seeking a therapist or if you have been in therapy before, I find ways to help client's feel comfortable to be able to speak freely to reach their goals. Having experience in working with children and adults in different capacities over my career, it has become my desire to help those I work with find their own potential and assist in empowerment. I have an extensive background in woking with those with a variety of mental health issues in the community mental health setting and hospital setting.

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” – Maya Angelou There are times in all of our lives where we can use support. I recognize the decision to begin therapy can often be a difficult one. It’s hard to ask for help! I believe that therapy is a collaborative approach between the client and the therapist. My role as a therapist is to walk alongside you as you begin to explore your previous trauma, engage in self-exploration, and find true healing. I aim to provide a judgment free zone, where individuals can be their authentic selves.

Every individual experiences stress in their lives and each of us have a different way of reacting to the stress- physically, mentally, and emotionally. Sometimes stress can make us feel anxious, sad, depressed, angry, and even trigger trauma experienced in our past. These intense emotions may disturb our level of function and abilities, making us feel helpless and stuck. Further, depriving us of any energy and motivation to move forward.

When people feel isolated or alone in their situation, they need someone else to help them gain a new perspective, feel differently, or at times escape the state at hand. My philosophy is to view therapy as if it were a "tune up" to help people keep operating through life. Just like cars need regular tune ups and oil changes to keep running smoothly, people also need regular check-ins and support for internal issues. This is especially important for people of color and minority populations because they face additional societal challenges (including microaggressions) that may or may not be overt but are often painful.

Feeling stuck? Trying to get back the focus, direction, and passion in life? In an environment free of judgment and rich in support, I believe it is important to utilize my client’s strengths to help empower the change process. By identifying values and specific goals, together we create a path to lead us in the desired direction. With my background in the education field, I have seen how children, as well as, adults struggle with the routine of the day when there is something heavy on their mind. I strive to help my clients identify how to remove this heaviness, and lead the life they have been wanting.

Coming to America as a young child from Ukraine, I learned how to adjust to many different aspects of culture, language and life challenges. I believe that everyone can benefit from having a safe space to process one's own thoughts and lead their life in a way to improve their overall self being.
