Do you feel stuck in a labyrinth of your thoughts and can not get out by yourself?
Would you like to have the tools to change all these impediments in your life?
You are in the right place
I use a collaborative approach to customize your treatment. The first several sessions are dedicated to:
getting to know you,
your problems,
your family situation,
your professional situation,
and cultural background.
Helping people get better is my goal.
Together we are going to explore your multigenerational family patterns and get to the root of your problems.
You will be empowered by learning practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy that will allow you to break down the negative thought patterns and behaviors that are preventing you from achieving a balanced life.
My Core Values Have Shaped My Therapy Approach
I come from a multicultural family. We speak three languages at home: English, Spanish, and Russian. Being an immigrant myself makes me more compassionate, understanding, and respectful of different cultures and traditions. I provide therapy in all three languages to adults and children from various cultural backgrounds. I understand and practice the values of nuclear and extended family on a daily basis.
My Path to Becoming a Therapist
My path to becoming a therapist started in 2003 when I left the business world to start my family. I started to work as an office manager in my husband’s psychiatric private practice. I got to know many patients and their stories, as I became familiar with a mental health system and different treatment modalities. I decided to pursue a MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling to help people. My training included working in inpatient and outpatient RUMC psychiatric hospital settings in Staten Island. This training gave me a better insight into mental health disorders. It made me more passionate and understanding about mental health struggles.
