Professional experience since 2010.

Throughout my career, I have taught psychology at a higher education institution, worked as a psychologist in a charitable organization supporting people living with HIV, participated in social projects for children in difficult life circumstances, and contributed to human resources management and recruitment, as well as entrepreneurship. I founded the "Psychological Art Studio" in Zaporizhzhia, where I conducted art therapy sessions for children and adolescents.

Currently, I focus on private psychological practice, offering individual counseling for adults and adolescents aged 14 and older. My work includes addressing life crises, emotional challenges, relationships with others and oneself, as well as career guidance consultations and psychotherapeutic groups.

My professional experience is enriched by personal insights from partnerships, family relationships, and parenthood. In my practice, I integrate evidence-based approaches, tailor my methods to each individual, and prioritize confidentiality and respect for their experiences.
