I am a board-certified, licensed art therapist with over 25 years of clinical experience, during which I have had the privilege of working in various settings, including psychiatric and medical hospitals, as well as school-based programs. For the past 15 years, I have also been an adjunct professor, teaching psychology, child development, and human communication courses.

Currently, I have a private practice in Connecticut, where my passion lies in helping parents navigate parenthood and supporting children and teens in grief and trauma.

In addition to my practice, I present at conferences and workshops, both locally and globally, on topics such as childhood grief, childhood trauma, parenting, and art therapy. I am also the author of Spidey Senses: A Story to Help You Learn to Use Your Senses to Calm Your Worries (available in both English and Ukrainian), a children's therapy book designed to empower children and their caregivers to navigate anxiety.

My commitment to helping others and supporting individuals in crisis is central to my work. Beyond my professional experiences, I am also a proud parent to an adult daughter. Through my own parenting journey, I intimately understand the trials and tribulations that families face, adding a deeply personal dimension to the work I do.

I am a professional member of the American Art Therapy Association and accredited through the Art Therapy Credentials Board.
