I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Certified Gestalt Therapist. 

I was born in Russia and immigrated to Canada in 2007. My previous education and experience was in medicine (M.D. from Kuban State Medical University in Russia with a specialized training in Cardiology). I worked as a cardiologist in an outpatient clinic for several years, where I got increasingly interested in psychotherapy, especially Gestalt therapy. I began training in Gestalt therapy while being in Russia and continued it after I arrived to Canada.

I have a very extensive personal experience with life transitions: leaving unsatisfactory long-term relationship, single parenting, changing careers, moving to a different country and adapting to a new society and  culture. These events gave me a rich ground from which to connect and understand the experience of others. In addition to this, I am continuously searching for opportunities for self-realization, personal and professional growth.

I like traveling, learning languages, meeting and connecting with people. Since 2012, I practice Thai Chi for the purpose of grounding and presence-centering. I am passionate about downhill skiing in winter and hiking the mountains during summer months. I am learning French and spend a lot of my free time reading.


I am fluent in English and Russian and offer psychotherapy in both languages.
