About My Clients
My clients are folks that need to be seen as complex individuals living a nuanced existence.
My Background and Approach
My approach is rooted in the belief that healing and justice are intertwined—both personal and collective. I work toward building accountable communities and envision a world without prisons, where care and liberation are at the forefront. Through my practice, I integrate abolitionist, anti-racist, anti-fascist, de-colonial, disability justice, healing justice, and feminist principles. This work is ongoing, and I am deeply committed to the education and growth needed to keep pushing forward. In my work as a therapist, I approach trauma with a feminist, relational lens, grounded in the understanding that trauma isn’t just an individual experience—it’s shaped by capitalism, patriarchy, and white supremacy. I believe that healing requires understanding these systems and how they show up in our bodies. I draw from a wide range of practices, including somatics, mindfulness, polyvagal theory, attachment theory, and neuroplasticity.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
As an immigrant and former refugee, I carry the histories and stories of my Jewish, Ukrainian, and Russian heritage. Fluent in Russian and currently learning Ukrainian, I have a personal connection to the complex intersections of identity, culture, and history. My chosen community is made up of queers, misfits, and rabble-rousers—the people who speak up, stand out, and disrupt systems that harm us. I’m especially curious about the ways ancestral trauma, immigration, and diaspora shape our experiences and our healing processes. I’m invested in exploring the healing practices of my own people, and in understanding how trauma is carried in the cultural body.
