Mental Health Counselor

I am an intern at our Newton clinic who provides therapy services!

My ideal clients are adults experiencing a range of mental health challenges and life struggles that impact their quality of living, relationships, and daily functioning. Together, we will work on reducing symptoms, developing healthy coping strategies, changing unhelpful behaviors, improving communication, and building self-confidence.

I work with the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach, one of the most researched and evidence-based methods. I value CBT because it makes therapy clear and equips clients with practical techniques they can use beyond therapy. In my sessions, I create a supportive, non-judgmental, and safe atmosphere to explore client’s challenges and work toward change.

I am bilingual and bicultural, originally from Russia. My background helps me connect with people from diverse cultures and understand their unique challenges. My journey in mental health began as a client, and I believe it takes courage to seek therapy and share your struggles. I deeply respect the brave step clients take in starting this process and am honored to support them.
