About My Clients
Every relationship experiences moments of disconnection. My role is to help couples slow down, listen differently, and rebuild emotional safety and closeness. Together, we uncover the patterns that keep you stuck and replace them with tools for deeper communication, empathy, and trust! I offer telehealth for accessibility and evening sessions for convenience - creating space that fits into your life, not around it. My goal is to create a calm, supportive space where both partners feel heard.
My Background and Approach
I was born in Odessa, Ukraine, and immigrated to the United States at twelve with my family as Jewish refugees escaping antisemitism. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and my Master’s degree in Social Work from New York University, where I trained in Ego Psychology and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I completed a 6-month didactic rotation at the largest health care system in the country and UCSF in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples, a research-supported approach focused on strengthening bonds and restoring emotional security. I have also earned a certification in Level 1 and 2 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, an evidence-based method that helps couples grow friendship, manage conflict, and build lasting connection.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I have always been drawn to LOVE – not just the feeling of love, but the work of love. Love is shaped by how we listen, how we respond during conflict, and how we repair after harm. It lives in the choices we make with one another. My work focuses on helping couples understand what gets in the way of connection and learn how to communicate in ways that are clear, respectful, and emotionally honest.
