I came to the United States from Ukraine in 2022.
In Ukraine, I worked as a nurse for 15 years, and I also worked part-time as a psychologist in an orphanage for several years. So I have experience in psychological work with children who have been left without parents, or whose parents have given them up for adoption. I also have experience working with families and one-on-one. I specialize in art therapy, fairy tale therapy, methods of working with emotional intelligence, as well as techniques for developing communication and self-regulation skills. Each of these techniques helps children express their feelings, reduce stress, and improve their overall emotional well-being.
I have two master's degrees, one in psychology and the other in pedagogy, as well as a secondary education in medicine.
