Clinical Director
Hello and Welcome!
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to walk alongside you on your journey. At Good Life Psychotherapy, we are a group of dedicated mental health practitioners based in Ontario, Canada. Our mission is to support you and your loved ones in navigating life’s challenges and discovering greater fulfillment. Whether you are struggling, healing from past experiences, or simply searching for more meaning and balance in life, we are here for you.
The only true prerequisite for therapy is the desire for change. No matter how overwhelming or confusing your situation may feel, therapy can offer new perspectives and open doors to growth. Together with your therapist, you will embark on a process of self-discovery, learning that happiness does not depend solely on external circumstances but can be cultivated from within.
We can help if you are struggling with:
• Depression or anxiety
• Addictions or co-dependency
• Low self-esteem or poor body image
• The effects of abuse or trauma
• Challenges related to chronic illness
• Immigration or culture shock
• Relationship or family difficulties
• Sexuality, gender, or lifestyle concerns
• Complex personal issues or patterns of underachievement
• Or even just a persistent sense that there should be “more” to life
Whether you choose to connect with us online or in person, our therapists are committed to offering compassionate care, professional guidance, and genuine support every step of the way.
Meet the dedicated professionals committed to your journey.

Before becoming a psychotherapist, I’d had many experiences, including motherhood, immigration, and a corporate career. I decided to become a therapist in my 40s after battling serious depression. I offer one-on-one, couples therapy, groups, and supervision in English and Russian.

Individual psychotherapy—often called “talk therapy”—is more than a conversation between two people. It is a dedicated space for healing and transformation, grounded in a therapeutic relationship that offers safety, deep listening, compassion, and professional insight.
Couples counseling provides a safe, collaborative space to explore concerns and work toward shared goals. We draw on Gestalt therapy principles, Nonviolent Communication (NVC), Imago Relationship Therapy, and more.
We recognize that love and connection take many forms. At Good Life Psychotherapy, we are proud to support couples and polycules practicing Ethical Non-Monogamy (ENM). ENM counseling provides a safe, non-judgmental space to explore the unique challenges and opportunities that arise in open relationships.
