PERSONAL LIFE:

I learned the power of community, culture, and family growing up in Windsor, Connecticut straddling two cultures: the largely multi-generational American community of my public school and the community of Ukrainian immigrants and their families with whom I was actively involved.  I learned two languages, two cultures, and two different perspectives on History as I tried to figure out, like so many others, what it really means to be an American.

​

I pursued my interest in interpersonal relationships and culture studying Psychology in college and graduate school, and post-doctoral training in Family Therapy.  I settled in Montclair, NJ with my family where we enjoy the diverse community in which we live.  In my work as a therapist, I strive to establish a safe and accepting place for people of all cultural diversities to explore their difficulties, and to provide the most effective and efficient treatment.
