About me
I am a trauma-informed psychotherapist with a clinical foundation in psychotherapy. My practice is grounded in integrative, compassionate, and body-oriented approaches. I facilitate therapeutic and support groups and individual sessions both online and in person.
Fluent in Ukrainian, English, and Russian, I work with clients affected by war, displacement, immigrants with chronic stress, and life transitions. I also provide psychological support to volunteers and professionals engaged in humanitarian work.
I am actively involved in perinatal mental health education, creating and leading projects aimed at supporting women during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. My work in this field includes facilitating therapeutic spaces and delivering psychoeducational content for professionals and mothers, with a strong focus on trauma prevention and recovery.
A unique element of my work is the transformational psychological game "Lada" and metaphorical cards as well as art-therapy tools which support deep internal shifts in the following areas:
- Relationship dynamics
- Psychogenic couple infertility
- Fear and anxiety in childbirth
- Identity transitions in motherhood
- Project embodiment and internal change
- Improving relationship dynamics
- Life quality transformation and personal growth
- Burnout and psychosomatic symptoms related to anxiety and stress
As a mother of six (three sons and three daughters), I bring not only professional knowledge but also deep personal experience to perinatal, postpartum and mothers psychological care. I support clients through all stages of motherhood - from problems with conception, childbirth fears, couple dynamics to a balanced career after maternity leave.
My approach is rooted in compassionate inquiry and existential-humanistic values, offering clients a safe space to reconnect with their inner resources and navigate healing.
