Courage to Heal Therapy

Courage to Heal Therapy empowers trauma survivors to heal, grow, and flourish through therapy and online courses. I'm always here for you!

I help people heal trauma and improve relationships through therapy and online courses. Being a therapist is my dream, and I consider myself very lucky to have it come true. I create online courses and provide therapy in Broomfield, CO, USA in my practice, Courage to Heal Therapy. My clients usually struggle with trauma and related dissociation, relationship issues, or bipolar disorder. I help them get better with EMDR, accelerated resolution therapy, emotionally focused therapy, and the Gottman Method. I came to the US from Russia at the age of 18 and worked in finance and legal compliance for several years before finally deciding to change careers and do what I love. I hope my passion inspires others to pursue their dream of become a healer. In my spare time, I love to knit, talk to my plants, and listen to podcasts. If you want to connect, please don't hesitate to contact me with questions or comments.

Healing childhood trauma doesn’t happen in one big moment—it happens in small, tender ones.
Like picking up a pen and choosing to meet your younger self with compassion.

Journaling can be a powerful way to access parts of your story that were buried, silenced, or never had words to begin with. It gives your inner child a voice—and offers your present-day self a safe space to listen, reflect, and gently process.

In my latest blog post, I share 29 trauma-informed journaling prompts designed to help you explore the impact of childhood trauma, reconnect with the parts of you that still need care, and begin the work of integration and healing.

You don’t have to write perfectly. You don’t have to have all the answers.
You just have to be willing to show up with honesty and softness.

“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.” —Theodore Roosevelt

You don’t need to have it all figured out.
You don’t need the perfect plan, the perfect mindset, or the perfect healing space.

You just need this moment.
This breath.
This version of you that’s doing the best she can with what she knows right now.

Some days your healing might look like deep insights and emotional breakthroughs.
Other days, it might look like drinking water, canceling plans, or simply being kind to yourself when your energy is low and your heart feels heavy.

It all counts.
It’s all part of the process.

You are not falling behind—you’re finding your rhythm.
One choice, one act of care, one step at a time.

Start where you are. And keep going.

Therapist: “What are you doing for self-care this week?”
Me: “Well, I made a to-do list. Then I took a nap because the list overwhelmed me. So… balance?”

Healing is full of moments like this.

You intend to journal, meditate, stretch, and meal prep…
But instead, you stare at your list, feel your nervous system say “nope,” and suddenly you're horizontal, cuddling a weighted blanket like it owes you money.

And honestly? That’s okay.

Sometimes self-care doesn’t look like bubble baths and green smoothies.
Sometimes it looks like recognizing your limits and not pushing through them.
Sometimes the most loving thing you can do is cancel the list and take the nap.

You’re not lazy. You’re listening.

That, in itself, is healing.

ADHD in women often hides in plain sight.

It looks like overwhelm that never goes away.
Like perfectionism, procrastination, and people-pleasing all tangled together.
Like being told you’re “too sensitive,” “too messy,” or “too much”—when you’re actually just trying to function in a world that wasn’t built for your brain.

In my latest blog post, I explore how ADHD shows up differently in women, why it’s so often misdiagnosed or overlooked, and what support really looks like when you’ve been masking for years.

If you’ve ever wondered why things feel harder for you than they seem to for others… this post might feel like the missing puzzle piece.

You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. You’re wired differently—and you deserve support that sees and honors that.

“It is never too late to be what you might have been.” —George Eliot

You are not behind.
Not too old.
Not too damaged.
Not too late.

Maybe your healing started later than you hoped.
Maybe the version of you that once dreamed, hoped, and believed got buried under years of survival.
But she’s still there—waiting to be remembered. Waiting to be rebuilt.

The truth is, becoming who you were meant to be doesn’t happen all at once.
It happens in small, courageous choices:
To set a boundary.
To speak with your true voice.
To try again.
To choose yourself.

Who you might have been is still possible.
She’s not lost—she’s unfolding.

And every single step you take toward her… counts.

Therapist: “Tell me about your support system.”
Me: “You mean the three podcasts I listen to and the barista who knows my name?”

Hey—don’t knock it. That barista’s smile at 8 a.m. has kept me going more times than I can count. And those podcast hosts? Basically my emotional support humans.

The truth is, when you’ve spent years being the strong one, the helper, or the one who “has it all together,” it can be hard to let people in. Asking for help might feel foreign—or downright terrifying.

So we build support where we can. In routines. In favorite voices. In quiet moments of not being alone.

And little by little, we learn:
We deserve real connection.
We deserve support that doesn’t have strings attached.
We deserve to be held, too.

So here’s to the healing work of expanding your circle—even if it starts with podcasts and coffee.

Affirmations aren’t just feel-good quotes—they’re a way to gently rewire your inner dialogue.

When you’ve lived through trauma, neglect, or chronic self-doubt, the voice in your head often defaults to criticism, fear, or shame. That voice might not be you, but it’s been driving for a long time.

Affirmations help you reclaim the mic.

In my latest blog post, I’m sharing 10 powerful affirmations for healing, growth, and becoming your truest self. These aren’t fluffy one-liners—they’re intentional phrases that speak directly to the parts of you that feel unseen, unworthy, or stuck.

Whether you speak them aloud, journal with them, or simply hold them close, each one is a quiet act of self-compassion. A reminder that healing is possible—and already happening within you.

“Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.” —George Bernard Shaw

You don’t have to wait to be “ready.”
You don’t have to wait to be perfectly healed, perfectly confident, or perfectly clear.

You get to begin now—from exactly where you are.

Because healing isn’t about uncovering some long-lost, perfect version of you.
It’s about choosing, every day, who you want to become.
It’s about building a life that reflects your truth—not your trauma.
It’s about creating safety, softness, boundaries, purpose, and joy… on your terms.

You are not a puzzle to be solved.
You are a masterpiece in progress—layered, evolving, and full of possibility.

Keep creating. You’re becoming someone beautiful.

Therapist: “What does rest look like for you?”
Me: “Scrolling Instagram while actively ignoring my nervous system’s cries for help.”

Rest? Oh, you mean dissociating in bed with my phone clutched like a security blanket while my body screams, “Please just lie down and breathe?”

Yeah… that kind of rest.

The truth is, when your nervous system has been stuck in survival mode for years, real rest can feel unfamiliar—unsafe, even. So we reach for the things that look like rest (hello, doom scrolling) but don’t actually give us what we need.

And that’s not a failure. It’s a clue.

A clue that our bodies are craving something softer.
Slower. Quieter. Something that doesn’t involve blue light and comparing ourselves to curated strangers.

So if you’re working on reclaiming rest—not as a reward, but as a birthright—I see you. Start small. A hand on your heart. A long exhale. A moment without input.

You deserve rest that actually restores.

You don’t have to carry what was never yours to hold.

If you’ve ever felt like you were born into pain that didn’t start with you—patterns of silence, shame, fear, or emotional disconnection—you’re not imagining it. That’s the legacy of generational trauma.

But here’s the powerful truth: you can be the one to break the cycle.

In my latest blog post, I explore how generational trauma shows up in our lives, how it’s passed down through nervous systems and belief systems, and how healing—even one small step at a time—can ripple across generations.

This work is hard. It’s often invisible. But it matters.

Because every boundary you set, every moment of self-compassion, every time you choose something different—you’re not just healing for yourself. You’re rewriting the story for those who came before you and those who will come after.

“It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop.” —Confucius

Healing isn’t a race. It’s a return.
A quiet, often nonlinear journey back to yourself.

Some days you’ll feel like you’re making huge progress.
Other days, getting out of bed will be the win.
Both count. Both matter.

The truth is—growth that lasts is rarely fast.
It’s slow and sacred.
It happens in the pauses, the tiny shifts, the quiet moments no one else sees.

So if you’re moving slowly… that’s okay.
You’re still moving.
You’re still showing up.
You’re still healing.

You haven’t failed. You’re just honoring the pace your nervous system can hold.
And that’s something to be proud of.
