It’s Nice to See You Here…
And here is a little bit about myself. I am a licensed social worker (LMSW) from Hunter College who currently works as a bi-lingual (Russian/English) psychotherapist at two private practices located in Brooklyn Heights and Manhattan, and as a part-time family support specialist at Baruch College’s Early Learning Center. I draw on somatic models and mindfulness and enjoy integrating them into yoga and talk therapy. I am devoted to my work with adults and adolescents who explore the beauty of their multifaceted identity (multiculturalism, LGBTQI+, spirituality). The intention is to help you safely process emotions and understand the states of mind that play into complexities on the inter- (you and others) and intrapersonal (within yourself) levels.
