I grew up in Russia in dysfunctional family. When I was in my 20-ies I realized how miserable I was and that set me on the path of figuring out how to make my life better. It’s been a long and windy road, with a lot of trials and tribulations but also with tons of amazing realizations, discoveries, deepening, great teachers and teachings.
At some point I realized that I am ready to give back, to help those who struggle to find their own way. I went back to school and graduated with a master’s degree in counseling. I became a licensed Marriage and Family therapist and I’ve been practicing counseling for nearly 2 decades now.
I’ve worked with clients with depressions and anxiety, with a history of trauma, abuse, and addictions. Together we’ve explored spiritual crises, personal growth, relationships and just a pure desire to live better lives. I work a lot with transgenerational trauma and family of origin issues. I am also a Systemic Family Constellations facilitator conducting regular workshops in Houston, TX.
My life has completely changed. I am happy, fullfilled, love what I do and I have a lot of friends and good family. I am endlessly fascinated with healing, growth and the idea of becoming “who we are meant to be”. I’ve explored many teachings, many approaches, many schools of thought. I am always learning something new to add more tools to my toolbox.
Breakthrough Sessions is another modality that I am happy to offer. I was blown away by the power and yet simplicity of it! I can honestly say that it was one of the most profound experiences and transformations I have ever had (and I had a FEW in my lifetime!)
I also have a private practice in Houston, TX. You can view it here: Follow Your Heart Counseling
