I will help you uncover the root of problems that don’t let you live the life you want. We will sort it all out- what to discard and what to keep. Then we will work on developing resilience: internal cognitive, emotional, and somatic resources. You will be better prepared to face inherent life struggles, and thrive amid external turmoil and chaos.

“If you know what you are doing, you can do what you want.”- Moshe Feldenkrais

Psychodynamic psychotherapy develops insight and understanding about the ways in which childhood affects your current life and relationships. It is the foundation for deep healing. 

Somatic therapy addresses the body and its relationship to thoughts, feelings, and emotions. It is essential for self-regulation and trauma work. My favorite method is the Integrative Body Psychotherapy which offers tools for resilience, stress reduction and trauma release for both body and mind. 

HeartMath is a versatile method, based on over 25 years of research on the neuroscience of the heart, mind and body integration for stress reduction, energy management and improving performance. I am a certified HeartMath coach and I apply its tools in psychotherapy, too.

I am certified as a Health Brain Professional and Elite Coach by Dr. Amen. I believe that scanning the brain can take away the mental health stigma and the shame that is still rampant in our society. It can clarify how the state of your brain impacts your mental health and give you additional resources.

If you are interested in healing through mindful movement, then Intelligent Movement- Solutions for Optimal Health is the one for you. It can restore hope and the zest for life – a state of “biological optimism”.

Energy medicine techniques: Tapas Acupressure Technique (TAT) is a simple and gentle method helping in the treatment of difficult issues, such as ACEs, and daily stress, too. It can help when you feel stuck, in times where nothing seems to work. I do not endorse the spiritual approach of its creator and I never use a spiritual approach unless is requested by the client.

Add your heart to everything you do, spice it up with care and appreciation, breathe and just watch for the results…

The goal of such therapies is to balance the nervous system, support you between sessions, and accelerate the effectiveness of therapy. They are based on curated music you can listen to between sessions, as your personal coach, or to prepare you for  a session and deeper work in therapy.

You are investing in the most important support system you will ever have- YOU.

Psychotherapy: I am an out-of-network provider for all PPO insurance plans. I can provide a superbills so that you can claim and get reimbursed by your insurance, according to your benefits. Please call your mental health plan to determine the deductible, the percentage of coverage and anything else you may want to know- I am not covering these services.

Coaching: it is not covered by insurance.

A choice for you if you believe in God, if you are interested or intrigued by the spiritual realm of the ancient Christianity,  if you feel discontent after years of therapy, if you grew up in Eastern Europe as an Orthodox Christian or if you are a seeker, convert, or in the process of converting to Orthodoxy.

I subscribe to the principle that God is love and love is not true love unless it allows freedom to the ones around us. I believe that you have choices, but many times you feel stuck and may not see them. I believe that the Holy Spirit completes the healing in your heart, when you pray and allow Grace to fill you in. This is my interest and unique niche, The Deep Heart Method – I keep working on integrating everything I’ve been learning into this holistic method, using the best from secular science and modern psychotherapy aligned with the values of the Eastern Orthodox Christianity. I offer additional services (courses and coaching) for those interested in it.
