About Me

I guide individuals, couples, and groups through life's complexities. With over two decades of experience, I offer a warm, supportive space. My approach blends deep Counseling insight with practical coaching strategies. This helps you navigate challenges and build clear pathways forward. Whether you seek clarity, stronger relationships, or personal growth, we can work together. We'll foster understanding and actionable steps for lasting change.

Approach

After twenty five years working with clients across relationships and life stages, I focus each session on practical clarity and steady momentum. In Vancouver or online, in English or Russian, sessions move between calm inquiry, short experiments and grounded reflection so insights translate into daily choices. I offer gentle pacing, clear agreements about next steps and occasional brief practices between meetings to test what works. People facing relationship shifts, career strains or burnout often find this collaborative, action‑oriented rhythm helpful.
