Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Portland, OR

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.

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’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.
