Professional experience

Why should you choose to work with me?

- In addition to my formal psychology education, I completed a four-year Gestalt therapy training program. My skills help clients recognize their needs and emotions, understand what hinders their fulfillment, and find solutions.

- I specialize in trauma therapy because I recognize that psychological trauma is universal, and it’s the first thing a therapist should be equipped to address.

- I have over 50 hours of personal therapy, so I know firsthand what it’s like to be a client. This also ensures my psychological well-being and that of my clients.

- I’ve completed over 100 hours of supervision and continue to engage in regular supervision for my work. This helps me be more effective and beneficial to my clients.

- I have extensive experience in online therapy, which is highly convenient as it eliminates travel time and allows sessions from anywhere in the world. This format is especially valuable for those living outside the CIS, where psychological services are significantly more expensive. My practice confirms that online therapy is just as effective as in-person sessions.

- I write articles that give you a deeper insight into my life experience and worldview. You can read my publications in the 'Publications' section of my profile.
