Areas I Can Help With

Therapy for Older Adults

For Those Navigating Later Life

Later life brings questions that deserve real attention. Purpose after retirement, relationships that have grown complicated, losses that accumulate, and what this chapter is actually for. Therapy offers a space to slow down, reflect, and feel genuinely heard.

Caregiver & Family Support

For Those Caring for Aging Parents

Caring for an aging parent while managing your own life is exhausting emotionally, practically, and often invisibly. Therapy offers a space to process the grief, guilt, and complexity of this role without losing yourself in it.

Later-Life Couples Therapy

For Couples in the Second Half of Life

Long marriages carry long histories, patterns, resentments, and distances that have built up over decades. But they also carry depth, shared memory, and the possibility of reconnection. Therapy can help you understand each other again.

Hi, I’m Olea.

A woman with short blonde hair and light skin, wearing a white blouse and a delicate necklace, standing outdoors with a green blurred background.

I'm a psychodynamic therapist in Toronto working with adults who are caring for aging parents and with older adults navigating later life.

I came to this work through my own experience as an immigrant, as a daughter who knows what it means to carry the weight of caregiving, and as someone who grew up listening to grandparents' stories in Kazakhstan. I understand the guilt, the family tensions, and the questions that don't have easy answers.

My work is warm, unhurried, and grounded in genuine curiosity about who you are and what matters to you now. I offer therapy in both English and Russian.
