services
“I am a generalist by training and professional experience. I work with individuals (older adolescents & adults) and couples providing time-limited consultation, psychodynamic psychotherapy (1-2 times per week) and psychoanalysis (3 or more times per week).”
Areas of specialization
Narcissistic Relationship Dynamics
I have significant experience helping individuals often labelled “narcissists” as well as those entangled in narcissistic relationships with romantic partners, parents, children, siblings, and employers.
Intergenerational Transmission of Trauma
Because traumatic experiences (familial and cultural) are often unconsciously passed down from generation to generation, I work with patients to explore the way in which this transmission process has impacted them and help them disentangle themselves from its grip.
Women’s Issues
Pregnancy & reproductive concerns, postpartum difficulties, family/career balance, parenting, and body image.
Culture and Immigration
I work with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation immigrants, couples and families. I am able to conduct psychotherapy in Russian.
Spiritual and existential concerns
as they interact with emotional and identity struggles.
Supervision and Training of Graduate Students
I have 16 years of experience teaching and mentoring undergraduate and graduate students in clinical psychology as well as early career professionals interested in psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
