I am a Registered Psychologist working with Adult individuals, couples and I also provide Comprehensive Psychological Assessments. I’m all about providing counselling and assessments that’s centered around you, respectful, and geared toward getting results. Whether you’re an adult, a late teen, part of a couple, or a whole family, I’ve got your back. From tackling tricky mental health stuff to smoothing out everyday relationship bumps, I’m here to help you uncover your potential and pick up some skills to make life better.
I’m fluent in English, Ukrainian, and Russian. I’ve got experience dealing with all sorts of things like Anxiety & Panic Attacks, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality, PTSD & stress, anger-management, relationship issues, parenting, and more.
I was born and educated in the Ukraine, USA and Canada. After relocating to Alberta, I further expanded my professional expertise and established a thriving practice. With over 20 years of experience in therapy and 12 years specializing in psychological assessments, I bring a deep understanding of various therapeutic approaches. My multicultural background and fluency in English, Ukrainian, and Russian allow me to connect meaningfully with clients from a range of linguistic and cultural backgrounds.
My work includes:
Individual Therapy – Personalized, one-on-one support to help clients navigate mental health challenges, build resilience, and foster personal growth.
Family Therapy – Structured sessions that improve communication and resolve conflict within family systems to strengthen relationships.
Couple Therapy – Support for partners seeking to improve their relationship dynamics, enhance communication, and work through challenges together.
Assessments – Comprehensive evaluations of mental health, cognitive functioning, and personality using standardized tools to support diagnosis, treatment planning, and personal insight.
From addressing complex mental health concerns to improving everyday relational dynamics, I strive to help you realize your potential and create positive, lasting change.
