I am credentialed in Australia with 15 years of professional work experience. I have worked internationally in USA, former Soviet Union and Romania. I speak conversational Russian and am familiar with the culture of former USSR. I have experience in helping clients with trauma, coping with addictions, abuse, compassion fatigue, concentration, stress and anxiety. I have extra experience in sexual assault, (childhood and adult) and use innovative techniques to integrate trauma. I have a Master’s degree in Art Therapy and we can easily use creative interventions to help you process your emotions and thoughts. I know how it feels to ask for help and I have been told I am a warm, caring clinician who is genuinely concerned for people’s well being.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
