Professional experience
Member of the Ukrainian Association of Psychotherapists and an associate member of EMDR Ukraine. I have experience working with adolescents in educational settings, supporting internally displaced persons, providing crisis intervention, implementing projects to combat domestic violence, and assisting survivors of sexual violence, including preparing psychological evaluations for court. I specialize in trauma, grief, and loss, lead psychotherapy groups, and maintain an LGBTQ+-friendly practice. I have been in private practice since 2009.
Areas of focus
- Support in navigating difficult life choices, building self-confidence, and overcoming anxiety, panic attacks, and fears. I help clients process trauma, grief, and loss, as well as adapt to life transitions and age-related crises. I address questions of identity—personal, professional, or sexual—and support clients in self-acceptance. I have experience in assisting individuals who have experienced violence, sexual assault, or loss, as well as providing crisis psychological support.
