I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT #164272, APCC #23098) under the supervision of Jane DeWilde MFT#107315. I earned my Master's degree in Counseling Depth Psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, and I am passionate about supporting you on your journey of healing and transformation.

​

Guided by compassion and authenticity, I offer a safe, warm, and accepting space for deep personal and relational healing.

My tailored, holistic, trauma-informed support meets you where you are. Whether you are navigating life transitions, anxiety, trauma, addictions, ADHD, motherhood, relationship challenges, or personal growth, I am here to help you understand yourself better, move through unfulfilling emotional and relational patterns, process trauma, and take steps towards clarity, inner strength, and emotional freedom.

​

To support you in creating meaningful and lasting change, and to help you access parts of yourself that talk therapy alone often can't reach, I draw from a wide range of modalities, including Brainspotting, Parts Work, Expressive Art Therapy, somatic and embodiment therapies, mindfulness and psychodynamic and attachment-based approaches. 

​

Children and teens hold a special place in my work. Through Art and Play Therapy, I meet them in the language they already speak - images, stories, movement, play - reaching what words alone often can't.

​

Clients describe my work as grounded in clinical skill, authentic human connection, and intuitively personalized, compassionate care.

​

I offer holistic psychotherapy for children, teens, adults, and couples in-person in Newport Beach and virtually throughout California. Sessions are offered in both English and Russian.
