About

I work with couples and individuals who are in long-distance romantic relationships, international couples/families, blended families and relationship where partners do not speak a common native language.

I have both professional and personal experience. I myself have gone the path from long-distance relationship to creating an international blended family. I've been working professionally with these topics in online community for almost 5 years on everyday basis.

I will help you:
- to successfully go through the stage of a long-distance relationship;
- to make a smoother transition from a "permanent honeymoon" of long-distance period to everyday life together, where the period of idealization of the partner ends and the couple faces differences in each other's mentality, culture and habits;
- for international/cross cultural couples and families I will support you in exploring deeper, seeing, understanding and respecting your cultural backgrounds and different mentalities. I will support you in creating flourishing new "We" culture, harmonously integrating your personal unique backgrounds into it.
- for international blended families: I will inform you about the relationship dynamics in such a family and help to reduce the overall level of stress. Together we will make a list of gentle rules for your family and learn how to cope with the "traps" on the way to a harmonious life together in such a special family structure;
- for couples in divorce: I will help you to gently end the relationship and maintain constructive interaction between parents reducing the level of stress for children and to help them to go through the variety of emotions associated with this event;
- for women individually: you may contact me with any request. I will support you on any stage of your life.
