As a mental health counselor, I am passionate about helping others live happier, healthier, and more authentic lives.
Whether this means overcoming a specific challenge, navigating life change, or treating a specific diagnosis—my treatment approach is person-centered, collaborative, and holistic. I believe that we are "masters of our own ship", as they say; and with the power of therapeutic insight, we learn to understand and navigate turbulent emotions as we steer towards healthy change.
My specialty is behavioral health with a background in substance abuse, anger management, and recovery.
I offer a variety of treatment services, including short term mental health counseling, psychotherapy (long term), substance abuse treatment, and couple's counseling. Our clinical work will be best tailored to your individual needs, with treatment modalities such as: psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), supportive, and interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT).
Change is daunting—and taking a step towards improving our wellbeing is no exception. Your courage and willingness to explore yourself is a powerful strength, and I look forward to taking that step with you!

Olga is a great listener & communicator. She’s thoughtful and caring, but also strong. I’ve grown so much during my time with her.

Olga is wonderful. I have tried 4 other therapist before and we immediately clicked during our 1st session and has given me good insights about myself and helped me navigate difficult emotions while creating an open environment. I would definitely recommend her!

Olga is experienced and listens carefully. She can relate issues from multiple sessions back, multiple weeks/months.
She can pull concepts and thought processes together in an amazing fashion.
Olga is very insightful and isn’t only focused on saying what she thinks I want to hear,
I have great respect for Olga. I generally would not remain in contact with a therapy for this length of time.
Olga is very good at what she does!
