About Masha

Born and raised in West LA with rich roots in Eastern Europe, Masha's journey has been as diverse as it is deeply personal. After earning her undergraduate degree from UC Santa Cruz, she set out to explore the world. Along the way, she became a substitute teacher, launched a pop-up art gallery, and embraced the transformative experience of motherhood. It was through these life chapters that Masha discovered her true calling: to become a therapist.

 

That calling led her to earn a Master’s degree from Antioch University—a journey that not only deepened her expertise but also shaped her understanding of the human experience. Her training includes psychodynamic therapy, CBT, and attachment-based approaches, yet she views therapy as a dynamic, collaborative process tailored to each unique individual.

 

Masha believes that healing and self-discovery are ongoing, and that we never stop learning from one another. If you’re ready to explore, grow, and create lasting change, Masha is here to walk that path with you. Psychotherapy is a space where your story is held with care, where insights emerge in the quiet pauses, and where the path to healing is co-created, one hour at a time. If you’re ready to explore your inner world, to uncover the patterns, to find meaning in your experiences—Masha is here to walk beside you.
