I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment where it feels safe to lay all your cards out on the table without fear of being judged. Our lives can sometimes be brutal, or exceedingly beautiful, and everything in between. I'm here for all of it. I find that I work particularly well with people who are struggling with major life transitions, grief, and managing chronic conditions.

I have 31 years of experience working in inpatient, outpatient, academic, and community counseling settings. My work has focused on trauma (PTSD), SUD, and how they affect relationships within individuals, couples, and families.

My approach is holistic, using both Eastern and Western philosophies and a solution-oriented approach.

I work with people feeling unsatisfied with their current life and emotional situations, looking for a deeper sense of fulfillment, connection, and/or balance in their lives. I help find the connection between their thoughts and feelings. I explore how desires manifest themselves as: depression, anxiety, fears, disinterest, grief, low self-esteem, etc. I also explore how these impact their body. He offers spiritual guidance and perspectives to those that wish. All services must be approved by provider

I often use the attachment style as one ways of looking at your personal situation. This helps you as we explore your specific style of attachment, identifying barriers you wish to change or overcome. I am person centered and walk together with you on this journey of discovery and health. I focus on limbic regulation.

I work with a variety of cultural backgrounds, drawing from my own diverse heritage. I specialize in communication, complex emotional situations, history of loss, conceptualizing and creating plans to measure progress toward mental and emotional well-being. Your time is your life, your success, and your independence.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with dual degrees in Educational and Clinical Psychology. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, personality disorders, adjustment disorders, OCD, life transitions or crises, and family or parent–child relationship issues.

I provide therapy in both English and Russian, with deep understanding of the Russian-speaking culture and its unique family dynamics.

As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), I believe every person deserves to be heard, understood, and treated as more than a diagnosis. I take the time to understand the whole person, considering the biological, psychological, social, and lifestyle factors that influence mental health. I provide compassionate, evidence-based care for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults, creating personalized treatment plans that support lasting wellness. My goal is to help you feel supported, empowered, and confident throughout your mental health journey.

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or worried about your child or family? I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20+ years of experience helping children, parents, and caregivers through big feelings and life changes. As a former elementary school counselor and certified K–12 art teacher, I understand the school, social, and family pressures kids and teens face.

I am passionate about children, adolescents and adults, especially for the well-being of families. I have been a Special Education Teacher and Counselor for over 35 years. My philosopy is based on a psychodynamic, holistic (mind, body, spirit) approach to enrich lives and help heal emotional wounds. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the use of Expressive Arts are helpful in changing thinking patterns and perceptions that impede growth and awareness. I believe in the process of our God-given Life and strengths within each of us to shine more brightly.
