Originally from Russia, I am fluent in Russian as well as English and Spanish. My love to help people and natural curiosity of human nature led me to study in the Counseling Program at Southern Nazarene University, which I completed in 2007.

At the beginning of my counseling career, I worked at Latino Community Development Center. My focus was teenagers and their families dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression and adjustment to difficult circumstances in their lives.  After eight years I went into private practice. 

My professional approach has been greatly influenced by Robert Brooks, D.C. who taught me “Issues in the Tissues” or Integration Method, and Anne Linden Steele, who was my trainer in Family Constellations Work. I am grateful for how God has blessed both my professional and personal life as well as for the support from my family.

I like to use Integration Method which helps connect mind, body and soul. We explore how the body reacts to stress and how it stores it in the body. I teach my clients to connect to emotions on an intellectual and physiological level to process them and to release them.

Family Constellations Work looks into the things we learn and inherit from our parents, grandparents, and how it affects our relationships today.

We help you discover the benefits of your emotions and how to let go of the emotions that aren’t supporting the best of who you are or can be. Healing from these emotions may take time and sometimes require the right tools to help you work through them.

Bringing balance to our emotions will help give us our sense of belonging and bring back the confidence and comfort of being who we were made to be.

Private pay is accepted. Sessions by appointment only. Feel free to contact me at 405-202-5248. Please leave a message and I will contact you as soon as possible. 

Warmly,
