About me

Hi! I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor/Licensed Professional Counselor (English/Russian-speaking) serving clients in New York, New Jersey, and Florida. I specialize in helping people navigate and overcome depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem, and support those seeking direction when life feels uncertain. If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, you don’t have to face it alone. Together, we can explore what’s holding you back, find clarity, and help you feel more confident, calm, and at peace. If this sounds like what you’re looking for, I’d be happy to connect!

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our initial session, anticipate a warm and compassionate environment where your sense of safety is my priority. We'll begin with brief introductions before delving into the specific challenges you're encountering. This structured approach will lead the way to the development of a tailored plan for our follow-up sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I help clients develop strategies to manage stress, anxiety, and low mood, and build confidence and self-esteem. I provide a safe, judgment-free space where you can talk about whatever feels most important to you, using a warm, down-to-earth, and even occasionally humorous approach. My goal is to help you feel heard, understood, supported, and not alone.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am passionate about supporting teenagers, young adults, and adults in overcoming symptoms of anxiety and depression. I also specialize in empowering clients to address issues related to low self-esteem and cultivate confidence.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

In my practice, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) by focusing on identifying and challenging clients’ negative thought patterns and behaviors. My goal is to help clients change these patterns to improve their emotional regulation and develop effective coping strategies. I often use CBT to treat conditions such as depression, anxiety, and stress by combining cognitive techniques, which address thoughts and beliefs, with behavioral techniques, which address actions and behaviors.

Psychodynamic

I employ psychodynamic therapy to help clients explore their unconscious processes and past experiences to understand and resolve current issues. By creating a safe and supportive environment, I encourage clients to delve into their emotions, childhood memories, and relational patterns. Through this exploration, clients gain insight into how past experiences influence their present behavior and emotions. My goal is to help clients uncover hidden conflicts, develop self-awareness, and foster emotional growth, ultimately leading to lasting change and improved mental health.

Positive Psychology

I use positive therapy to focus on clients’ strengths, virtues, and capacity for growth. I help clients identify and build on their existing positive qualities and achievements, fostering a sense of optimism and resilience. By emphasizing positive emotions, constructive experiences, and meaningful goals, I guide clients toward enhancing their well-being and life satisfaction. This approach involves techniques such as gratitude exercises, strength identification, and the cultivation of positive relationships. My aim is to empower clients to develop a more positive outlook on life and to harness their innate potential for personal growth and happiness.
