At Lumos Counselling, we believe that the counselling process is a collaborative approach where the patient determines where they are going and the therapist provides the directions. Our philosophy to counselling is to empower patients so that they are able to work through stressors with tools and strategies learned during sessions.
I truly believe that each and every one of us holds the strength to transform ourselves and our lives in a meaningful way - sometimes, we just need a little support to get there. Specializing in anxiety, eating disorders, body image, depression, self-esteem, and grief/ loss, my approach is client centred - recognizing that through the challenges, experiences, and traits that make us who we are, we deserve therapy that is unique to us.
I'm a therapist in Toronto and I believe that each individual is the expert in themselves, and as such, they enter into a relationship with the therapist to move forward toward wholeness. I also believe that most of what we experience is temporary as we look at the extent of our lives. I caution individuals not to make permanent decisions based on a temporary situation. Therapy is the process of understanding what has derailed the individual and actively move them back to a place of equilibrium.
After 25 years of practice, I bring knowledge, insight and numerous skills to my work with clients. Whether I'm treating trauma, or helping clients apply the insights offered by Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, or utilizing the concepts of resilience to their experience, I am a fairly creative and utilize the client's creativity to help move them forward. By asking questions, offering perspectives, and suggesting ways to engage in the process beyond the confines of the session itself. My central role is to establish a caring and therapeutic relationship with each and every client. Contact me for a fifteen min. phone session.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist serving individuals, couples, and families in Ontario. Since starting my practice here in Ontario, I have been given the privilege of helping clients overcome their relationship struggles and move forward with their lives. I work collaboratively to set goals with clients, helping them resolve personal problems, conflict in the family, and more. My services are available in two languages: English and Russian. Apart from locals, I also serve immigrants from Eastern and Central Europe, Russia, and other countries. I can offer a more personalized service since I know the culture, social processes, values, and traditions.
I am a registered Clinical Psychologist with a doctoral degree in psychology. I am licensed (#6854) by the College of Psychologists of Ontario. Additionally, I am a member of the Ontario Psychological Association and the American Psychological Association. I provide psychological services to the adult client population in-person as well as online through Owlpractice, a virtual platform for providing care virtually.
I follow an integrative treatment approach including Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Intervention includes evidence-based treatment plans and empirically proven techniques. The focus of the treatment is on empowering the client with an adaptive thinking style and more effective coping skills to deal with symptoms and the surrounding environment. The goal of the treatment is to the enhancement of well-being and improve experience of overall quality of life.
I value my clients with their individual strengths and struggles. I actively engage with clients to reflect on their successes and challenges and rebuild their belief in their strengths and expand them further. I value a multicultural perspective and respect for diverse cultural backgrounds. The initial session is generally an intake assessment dedicated to understanding the case history/life story and for the purpose of diagnosis of the problem. Subsequently, treatment goals are collaboratively determined, and a treatment plan is tailored considering specific life situations, struggles, stressors, and personal strengths of the client.

I am trauma and attachment therapist working with clients who have experienced childhood-developmental trauma, relational trauma, intimate partner abuse, bullying, or PTSD. Clients that arrive with multiple presentations or have experience traumatic events tend to struggle with on-going states of anxiety and depression, relationship issues, become labelled as bipolar and experience borderline personality disorder. My purpose is to help clients to connect with their bodies, mind and brain to achieve better understanding of them-selves and build clarity, self-regulation and resilience.
Working with survivors of trauma or PTSD, I help people who have struggled with a painful past. In Toronto, practicing for over 25 years, I work with individuals and families struggling with interpersonal trauma or PTSD, difficult family relationships, or those in high distress from loss & grief, or people trying to cope with eating disorders, anxiety, or emotional pain.
Since embarking on my training in psychotherapy in 2003, I have continually encountered evidence reaffirming the crucial role of the therapeutic relationship in facilitating positive outcomes. Together, we can establish and nurture a trusting therapeutic alliance, where your feelings and thoughts are not only valued but also progressively understood with increasing accuracy and awareness. This holds true for both individuals and couples seeking therapy.
