Yoga and movement teacher. 200Hr Registered yoga instructor. I have advanced trainings in mobility, locomotion, breathwork, meditation. I combine my movement background with clinical social work and counseling training to serve others - help them heal, improve their wellbeing, as well as physical and mental health. Bilingual LICSW. Fluent in Russian and English. Experienced working with diverse clients in various settings including: counseling centers, community, schools and housing.Regardless of the setting and population my true passion is in helping people feel their best, meeting them where they are at and together creating a safe, reflective space for individuals to get closer to who they are and work through feelings, thoughts and destructive behaviors. All of us have long standing patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving that may have served a protective purpose, yet they limit our experience of living. I am committed to cultivating a warm, supportive and reflective environment to help clients explore their struggles and move towards a more free and balanced life. I believe that therapeutic relationship is an opportunity to explore and create a positive, corrective relational experience. I am interested and well-versed in a variety of clinical theories including modern psychodynamic, cognitive, behavioral, trauma-informed, family systems and mind and body approaches.
