WHAT BROUGHT ME HERE
From a young age I have been sensitive and attentive to others. I lived half of my life in a former communist country, where I was heavily influenced by propaganda which provided a skewed perception of my world. I have felt the heaviness of despair and the immense joy of experiencing compassion for all living beings. As a result of this, I am highly sensitive to the influence of any culture on the individual's free will, happiness, and existence. It is my passion to help people find and expand joy in their lives.
My goal is to increase the awareness of the profound effects of the culture surrounding us. It is akin to revealing to the fish the nature of the water in their bowl, empowering individuals to break free from the constraints of mainstream culture and its rigid standards regarding "normal" bodies, eating, and sexual practices. By fostering this awareness, I aim to inspire a journey toward self-liberation and authenticity, encouraging others to embrace their true selves beyond societal expectations.
My aim is to help people feel confident, to be with the energy of health, and enjoy their bodies fully. It’s truly an honor to be invited into the intimate world of my clients’ lives. The courage it takes to look deeply inside is something to be celebrated. I do my best to encourage, and expand each person’s capacity for real adult sexual and emotional relationships.
MY TRAINING
I earned my doctorate degree at the Illinois School of Professional Psychology in Chicago, IL. I am a AASECT Certified Sex Therapist and a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist have worked in different levels of eating disorder care throughout my career. I am also supervisor for pre- and post-doctoral residents in this field while maintaining my private practice. I am endlessly curious about the human condition and in constant pursuit of additional training and certifications since I began my career.
