COUNSELLING

Individual
Therapy

We can explore a variety of concerns together: from difficult experiences in childhood or adulthood, life transitions, and relational challenges, to depression, anxiety, and the search of your authentic self.

Couples
Therapy

In a safe and trusting environment, I will help you both see and understand each other deeply. I will provide tools and teach skills you need to improve your communication and manage conflict.

Sex
Therapy

I can help you explore a wide range of sex-related concerns, both in couples and

individual sessions.

Through talk-only therapy,

I will help you find your way to the pleasure you want.

2SLGBTQIA+ Folx Welcome!

Being a member of the queer community myself, I create a safe, validating, and affirming space for all my clients.

My Approach
Trauma-informed
Attachment-based
Sex-positive
Gottman Couples Therapy

Together, we will create a space where your nervous system can soften, where long-silenced parts of you can finally be heard, and where consent, respect, and compassion are valued.

About me

My personal journey in therapy inspired me to be a counsellor myself and help others reach their full potential. Life experiences like living in several cultures, changing careers in my
30s, and navigating relational challenges with partners and family have increased my capacity for empathy and compassion.

Areas of Focus

  Whether you are an individual feeling stuck in some way or a couple looking to improve communication, increase your connection, or resolve conflict, I am here for you. Nothing about your identity, desires, or experiences is “too much” or “not enough” here. 

Intimacy
Trauma
Relationships
Life Transitions
and other concerns

It is so important to feel safe and connected with your therapist, which is why I encourage everyone to do their research and try a few counsellors to see if they are a good fit for you.

Territory Acknowledgement

​

As a first-generation settler from Belarus, I am privileged to live and practice on the traditional,

ancestral, and unceded territories of the kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem), səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), q̓ic̓əy̓ (Katzie), qʼʷa:n̓ƛʼən̓ (Kwantlen), qiqéyt (Qayqayt), and Stó:lō (Sto:lo) Peoples.

I am grateful for their continued care for these lands, waters, skies, and all that is above and below. 

​

As a mental health care professional, I recognize the impact of systemic racism within institutions

and that counsellors have the responsibility and power to create culturally safe and appropriate environments of care.

I commit to continued learning about the devastating colonial practices in psychotherapy and healthcare

and doing my part in decolonizing the field.
