An experienced, competent, and compassionate psychologist working predominantly with individuals, couples, and organizations

About Me

I am a Counseling Psychologist and a licensed Psychologist and MBSR teacher based in Kyiv, Ukraine. I help you manage anger, anxiety, stress and burnout, procrastination, and relationship problems. I offer trauma counseling, advocacy, personal development, and wellness support with practical strategies that apply to daily life.

Approach

Sessions feel steady and practical, moving from brief check-ins to focused work that balances safety, insight, and everyday skills. In Kyiv or online, in English, Russian or Ukrainian, we pace the work to suit your rhythm—sometimes with gentle mindfulness practices between meetings, other times with short experiments or communication exercises to try at home. I offer clear steps and mutual reflection so progress is trackable and tolerable. This approach often suits adults, couples and teams seeking calm, clarity and usable change.
