As a licensed psychologist, I specialize in treating adults struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, and relationship issues. I also work with couples who want to strengthen their relationship. I help people navigate major life transitions, including parenthood, divorce, traumatic events, or loss of a loved one. By paying close attention to your whole self, including your stuck points, feelings, values, relationships, and significant past experiences, I flexibly apply insight and practical tools to help you suffer less, cope better, and regain a positive sense of self, connection to others, and purpose.

I have a particular interest in women, work, and the maternity transition, including postpartum depression.
I am passionate about helping my clients understand how they, despite their best efforts, consistently act in ways that don't further their goals. I help people get unstuck from unproductive patterns of behavior. Whether you're struggling in your personal or professional life, or want a more fulfilling integration of the two, I can help you to better understand what stands between you and the realization of your aspirations. The therapeutic process is an adventure, one we'll navigate together. I promise to bring my genuine curiosity, integrity, sensitivity and optimism to our work.

I work with artists, couples, people with chronic illness, and young adults with separation and intimacy issues, seeking to find who they are. We consider how "old issues" sometimes interfere in our moving forward. I help individuals pick good partners and feel safe letting someone get close to them. I also help them to set appropriate boundaries with their parents and others. I reduce my fees to what is affordable for the client. I enjoy working with couples and understand cultural differences, having a Ph.D. In Russian, and lived in Russia and France, and worked with Asians, Latinos, Russians, Mormons, and Orthodox Jews.

It is easy to forget that each person is an individual in the complex world we live in. It is common for humans to struggle with their individuality, identity, and finding themselves or their life’s purpose. This struggle can leave you feeling confused, isolated, anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or lost. I view therapy as a way to connect by providing patients with a supportive, safe, non-judgemental space to explore and confront these feelings.

BILINGUAL PSYCHOTHERAPIST.I enjoy my work as a Psychotherapist and Psychoanalyst. My very extensive training at an analytic Institute has prepared me to listen first and then assess the patient's needs. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is an important guide to help face the challenges of love and work in their lives. Symptoms of depression, anxiety phobias and Rage are often indication that something needs to change. I try to help the patient utilize psychotherapy for their personality issues that make it hard to function effectively in the world or be content , feel more whole, and more productive.
