I believe that therapy is a place of growth where human connection with your therapist, empathy and unconditional acceptance are balanced with a challenge. Both are necessary to gain a new perspective, overcome internal barriers, and experience new, healthier, and more fulfilling ways of being. The years of experience and advanced post-graduate training I received make me believe in couples' and individuals' potential to grow and heal. I view our work as an interesting, energizing process that helps you to better understand yourself and your partner(s), to have healthier relationship(s), to enhance your ability to cope with stress and ultimately to become a happier person. Our work would recognize the uniqueness of your circumstances, of your relationship and of each partner(s)' personality.
I welcome all relationships, including LGBTQ couples, CNM and kink relationships, and mixed-culture couples. I work with all cultures, ethnic groups, races and religions. I am striving to understand my patients, and if I am not familiar with your culture, I will take it upon myself to learn more on my own and together with you. In addition to English, I speak French and Russian. I specialize in working with those dealing with infertility. I also find delight in helping couples navigate life transitions- adjusting to becoming parents, challenges of living with adolescent kids or young adults who still stay in the house, empty nesters syndrome, blended families etc.
