About Me

I help adults and adolescents navigate complex feelings and life transitions. As an experienced psychotherapist, I work in individual and group settings using the gestalt approach. This supports those experiencing psychosomatic disorders, past trauma, or personal challenges like separation. We explore present experiences, building awareness and new ways forward. This helps you find greater stability and understanding.

Approach

Therapy here unfolds as an attentive exploration of how feelings, bodily sensations and relationship patterns appear in the moment, using short experiments and focused dialogue to widen choice. In Miami Beach I offer sessions in English, Russian and Ukrainian, both in person and online, paced to your needs. Sessions mix mindful awareness, gentle tracking of somatic cues, and practical steps between meetings to support regulation and recovery after crisis or separation. This approach often helps adults find clearer direction and steadier emotional balance.
