My background is in corporate marketing, and I have 15 years of experience working with adolescents as a college admissions counselor. At CSCSB, I facilitated cancer support groups and conducted individual sessions. My professional focus includes medical and child trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and behavioral issues. I utilize CBT, TF-CBT, mindfulness-based, narrative, psychodynamic, family systems, and play therapy. I am a bilingual Russian-American yoga practitioner who integrates meditation into practice and enjoys hiking and backpacking.
