Getting Started

  • The consultation is a 30-minute conversation (online or in person), where we can get a sense of each other. You'll have space to share what's bringing you to therapy, ask questions, and see if this feels like the right fit. There's no pressure or obligation. It's simply a chance to begin.

  • Yes, both. In-person sessions are held in downtown Toronto. Online sessions are available for anyone in Ontario using a secure video platform. Many of my clients appreciate online therapy for its flexibility — especially if mobility, transportation, or caregiving responsibilities make leaving home difficult.

  • No referral is needed. You can reach out directly and book a free consultation to get started.

  • Yes. I offer therapy in Russian for clients who prefer to work in their first language. There's no interpreter, no barrier — just conversation in the language that feels most natural to you.

    Терапия на русском языке — чтобы вас по-настоящему поняли.

    • Individual sessions (50 minutes): $160

    • Couples sessions (75 minutes): $220

      I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots. Feel free to ask if that’s something you need.

  • Many extended health plans do cover therapy with a Registered Psychotherapist. I’ll provide you with a receipt that you can submit for reimbursement. It’s always a good idea to check with your provider first to confirm your coverage.

  • A full session fee applies for cancellations within 24 hours or no-shows, as this could impact scheduling for other clients seeking support.

About Therapy

  • I practice psychodynamic therapy — an approach that takes your whole life seriously, not just the immediate problem. We'll explore how your history, relationships, and patterns shape who you are today. Sessions are reflective, unhurried, and collaborative. This isn't about quick fixes but about genuine understanding.

  • Yes. Many of my clients are older adults referred by their adult children. If you're searching for a therapist your parent might actually trust, I'd be glad to talk. I also work with family members who are navigating the emotional weight of caregiving. You don't have to do this alone.

  • Not at all. Some of the most meaningful therapeutic work happens in later life, when there's time to reflect, patterns are clearer, and the questions feel more urgent. You don't age out of deserving to be heard.

  • Yes. I welcome people of all backgrounds, identities, and family structures. You don't need to explain or justify who you are to feel safe here.
