After growing up in Ukraine, I spent four years in Madrid working on my Bachelor’s degree where I majored in Psychology and Communication (emphasis on intercultural communication), and then relocated to Leiden, The Netherlands, to pursue my Master’s degree in Psychology. I worked with clients from various backgrounds and several different countries during my internship. I also volunteered for an LGBTQ+ student organization in Leiden which catered to local and international students.

At the moment, I am working in The Hague both in my private practice, PSYNT, which offers expat- and LGBTQ+ friendly therapy and at Leiden University College as a Student Life Psychologist. I am also pursuing my PhD on the topics of family and LGBTQ+ psychology.
