To me, being a therapist means being able to maintain an honest connection with the person across from you, without introducing anything unnecessary to this interaction. It involves the skill of enduring the arising tension, sincerely reflecting on what is happening.
What Requests I Work With
Finding oneself and one's place in the world
Fears of death and loneliness
Decision-making problems
Challenges in forming relationships with others
Problems in couple relationships
Life crises: childbirth, job loss, emigration, relationship breakups
Biography
In 2011, I graduated from the Faculty of Psychology at Saint Petersburg State University, and in 2014 began private practice, which I continue to this day.
From 2017 to 2022, in addition to counseling adults, I delved into the field of child psychology, working as a Montessori teacher with children aged 3 to 7 years. This experience enhanced my understanding of human development and formation processes and simply brought a lot of joy.
Since 2024, I have been a supervisor of the project "Open Doors" — sharing my experience with young colleagues, conducting supervisions in a multimodal approach.
