I specialize in helping people with BPD
Borderline personality disorder is not a life sentence. It is a diagnosis — and a diagnosis is something that can be understood, accepted, and worked with.
What matters most is this:
Living with Borderline Personality Disorder can feel like trying to stay afloat in a stormy sea.
One day the water is calm and the sun is out; the next, you are caught in a storm of intense emotions, crushing emptiness, fear of being abandoned, and painful relationship struggles that pull you under. It is exhausting, makes you question yourself, and can leave you feeling deeply misunderstood and alone.
One day the water is calm and the sun is out; the next, you are caught in a storm of intense emotions, crushing emptiness, fear of being abandoned, and painful relationship struggles that pull you under. It is exhausting, makes you question yourself, and can leave you feeling deeply misunderstood and alone.
Yes, the path toward greater stability requires time, patience, and consistent professional support. Therapy for BPD is not a quick fix; it is a deep and compassionate process of rebuilding that often takes about 1.5−2 years of regular sessions. It is an investment in your future — in your freedom from inner chaos and in your ability to build more stable, fulfilling relationships with yourself and others. And it is an investment that truly pays off, as you gradually regain a sense of control over your life.
Why I specialize in helping people with BPD
For me, working with people who have Borderline Personality Disorder is not just one aspect of my practice — it is a deliberate choice and a field to which I devote both my energy and my heart.
Unfortunately, I often see that such clients are turned away or labeled as "difficult," "unpredictable," or "too much." But I don’t see a "difficult" person behind this diagnosis — I see a person for whom life has become extremely difficult. I see immense pain that they have been left to carry alone, and tremendous strength that enables them to keep fighting and reaching out for help.
My role is to be a safe harbor, a steady companion, and a professional guide for you on this path. I believe that you are not to blame for having this disorder — but you do have the power to take responsibility for change. I will be there with you every step of the way: to support you, help you make sense of what is happening, and equip you with effective tools — primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and its specialized approaches for BPD — methods that have already helped thousands of people around the world.
Your life can change. You can learn to manage your emotions, build healthy boundaries, cope with anxiety, and develop a stronger, more stable sense of self.
Take the first step. Book a session, and we will walk this path together.

What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?
CBT is an evidence-based therapeutic approach. Over 500 studies worldwide have confirmed its effectiveness in treating a wide range of difficulties — including depression, anxiety, phobias, relationship issues, procrastination, perfectionism, and even personality disorders.
-
On average, it takes about 10−20 sessions to address a specific issue.CBT is a short-term, goal-oriented form of therapy. During this time, you not only work through your current challenges but also learn how to apply CBT techniques independently in the future. -
An important key to successful therapy is completing exercises between sessions.This ongoing practice helps you strengthen and integrate new skills; without it, the overall duration of therapy may need to be considerably longer.

What is our goal?
— to learn how to handle challenges in a rational and effective way, right here and now
In my work, I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), complemented by elements of other evidence-based approaches, including REBT, ACT, DBT, EFT, and EMDR.
I am a member of the Association for Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapy, led by the distinguished professional D. V. Kovpak, whom I consider my mentor and teacher.
My English is easy to understand, so you can focus on the session, not on decoding my speech. You can also watch my video introduction to get a sense of how I sound.
I gained extensive practical experience as a psychodiagnostician at the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Moscow Region, where, as part of a team of experienced colleagues, I participated in the selection of young recruits for future service.
My journey in psychology began in 2003, right after I graduated from the Faculty of Psychology.

Questions & Answers
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based approach that focuses not on analyzing the past, but on working with thoughts and behaviors in the here and now.
Together, we identify negative thinking patterns that trigger painful emotions and learn to replace them with more realistic and helpful ones. A key feature of CBT is the client’s active role and the emphasis on developing concrete skills to deal with current problems.

No. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a short-term, focused approach. In most cases, working through a specific problem takes around 8 to 20 sessions, usually held once a week.
The goal is to help you learn how to cope on your own, so that, over time, you can become your own therapist.

This is a very common fear. In Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I am not in the role of a judge or someone who simply gives advice. My role is to help you explore your thoughts, understand how they affect your life, and work together with you to find strategies that are genuinely effective for you. Our sessions are a safe, confidential, and supportive space, free from judgment, criticism, or lectures.
- Anxiety, panic attacks, and phobias.
- Depression, chronic fatigue, and loss of motivation.
- Obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors (OCD).
- Low self-esteem and perfectionism.
- Social anxiety and difficulties in communication.
- Relationship crises (family and romantic).
- Problems with anger and emotion regulation.
- Other similar concerns.
Yes, there are usually "behavioral experiments" or exercises between sessions, but they are not school-style assignments to be graded; they are an important part of the therapeutic process. For example, you might keep a thought diary or try out a new pattern of behavior in a safe situation. This kind of practice helps you consolidate new skills more quickly in real life.
CBT recognizes that the roots of many difficulties can lie in past experiences, including childhood, but the focus is on how these experiences affect your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors here and now.
Instead of spending years analyzing the past, we work on changing the unhelpful core beliefs that were formed back then, such as "I'm not good enough," which continue to interfere with your life today.

Yes. I work with all personality disorders, and borderline personality disorder (BPD) has been a long-standing professional focus of mine, in which I have substantial clinical experience.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), particularly its specialized protocols such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), has strong evidence of effectiveness in helping people with BPD regulate emotions, build more stable relationships, and improve their overall quality of life.

Yes, absolutely. Confidentiality is a fundamental principle of my work and the foundation of trust in the therapeutic relationship. Everything discussed in our sessions stays strictly between us, and I adhere to professional ethical standards as well as data protection laws.
Exceptions required by law are extremely rare and relate only to an immediate threat to your life or health, or to the safety of others. I will clearly explain these limits of confidentiality at the beginning of our work so that you know exactly how your information is protected.

The first meeting is a space for getting to know each other and for an initial assessment. You share what brought you to therapy, and together we go through clarifying questions so that a fuller picture of your situation can emerge.
We then define the goals of our work, discuss how the CBT process is structured, and you can get a sense of whether working with me feels comfortable for you. This is your space to make a thoughtful, informed decision.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is my primary, foundational method, as it is a scientifically validated and highly effective approach. However, I am convinced that the future of psychotherapy lies in the flexible integration of the best tools from different schools.
Therefore, while remaining within an evidence-based framework, I organically incorporate techniques and ideas from other approaches when appropriate, such as Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for emotion regulation, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) for work with relationships, EMDR for trauma processing, and existential therapy for questions of meaning. This makes it possible to tailor therapy more deeply and precisely to the unique needs of each client.

Yes, CBT is especially effective in situations like this. Often it really is hard to explain why you feel bad, and in CBT we do not spend months searching for a single ‘root cause.' Instead, we begin by working directly with the symptoms — anxiety and low mood.
Using CBT techniques, we identify which specific thoughts and behaviors are maintaining this state and learn how to change them. Over time, a deeper understanding of the reasons behind your difficulties often emerges naturally, once your emotional state has already begun to improve.

Sometimes things can feel harder at first, because instead of avoiding problems, we begin to uncover and work through them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), however, offers a clear and structured roadmap: you always know what we are working on and why.
We move at a pace that feels manageable for you, and our shared goal is not to dive deeper into suffering, but to find a way out of it.
