About Me

I am a psychoanalyst and psychotherapist in private practice in New York (NYSED License No. 001056) and internationally, and THE ONLY Licensed Psychoanalyst in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

PRESENTLY, I OFFER ONLINE SESSIONS ONLY (via zoom and/or telephone).

I speak English and Russian fluently and am advanced, though not (yet) fully fluent, in Spanish.

I have over 10 years of clinical experience treating anxiety, depression, loss/grief, loneliness, self-esteem issues, relationship issues, personality disorders, trauma, issues of sexuality and gender, including LGBTQ+ issues.

I provide in-depth therapy tailored to the needs of each unique individual. My goal is to help those who are seeking meaning, insight and change to become who they are.

I am also a teacher and clinical supervisor for mental health professionals, and published author. I hold a graduate degree in psychoanalysis (with distinction) from the Centre for Psychoanalytic Studies at the University of Essex (U.K.), where I was also awarded Sigmund Freud Memorial Prize.

I am a Fellow of the International Psychoanalytical Association (FIPA), Psychoanalyst Member of the American Psychoanalytic Association, Member of the China American Psychoanalytic Alliance and an Associate Member of the International Psychotherapy Institute.
