About me
I am a Marriage and Family Therapist Trainee working at Community Institute for Psychotherapy in San Rafael, CA. I am dedicated to helping individuals struggling with symptoms of trauma in the many ways it impacts people.
I am a graduate student at Alliant University, with a Bachelor’s in Philosophy. I am a Level 1 IFS Certified Therapist Trainee and am passionate about the IFS model, and its qualities of kindness, compassion, and mindfulness.
I am fluent in English and Russian, and am able to take clients to speak either of those languages. I’ve worked with school aged children and provided short term therapy services to them in the past.
Currently I am employed by Community Institute for Psychotherapy which is a sliding scale psychodynamic therapy clinic. I am unable to see clients outside of the clinic, but am able to take on more clients at this site. I am interested in working with individuals and couples, exploring relational dynamics, systemic issues, attachment wounds, and trauma.
