About me: I am a Caucasian female in my mid-40s.

My interests include languages, travel, and of course psychology/mental health. I am committed to personal growth in my own life. Being a therapist is more than work - it's my passion.

I have lived in/studied abroad in 5 different countries in my life (Russia, England, Spain, Austria, and the US). I appreciate and understand cultural diversity.

I live with my husband, our 8 year old son, and 2 guinea pigs. I strive to find a meaningful balance between work, parenting, and family life to the best of my ability.
