I am a New York State Licensed Psychoanalyst, Certified Gestalt Therapist, Family Divorce Mediator, and teacher of yoga and meditation. Dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate emotional, relational, and life challenges with clarity and compassion, I approach each person’s process with deep respect, believing that we all carry our own answers within.

My therapeutic style is grounded in professionalism, empathy, and integrity. When called for, I bring warmth, playfulness, and a solution-oriented perspective. I draw on my natural attunement to the voice’s timbre, breath, and the mind–body connection. As a Ukrainian American, I bring my lived experience to our work, incorporating somatic exploration, creative techniques rooted in Gestalt Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Existential Therapy.

Before transitioning into the mental health field, I spent over two decades working in international finance with multinational corporations. That experience shaped my understanding of stress, identity, and resilience, which now informs my work with clients navigating both personal and professional challenges.

Working with presence and a here-and-now framework, I view therapy as a collaborative process. Together, we will deepen awareness around what may be affecting your peace of mind and happiness, and develop practical strategies for healing, growth, and transformation.
