I help individuals and families navigate emotional, relational, and life challenges with clarity and compassion, approaching each person’s process with deep respect and the belief that we all carry our own answers within.
My therapeutic style is grounded in empathy, integrity, and presence. I bring warmth, playfulness, and a solution-oriented perspective when needed, drawing on somatic exploration, Gestalt Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Existential Therapy. As a Ukrainian American, I also bring a cross-cultural perspective that enriches my work with diverse clients.
