Areas I Can Help With

Therapy for Older Adults

For Those Navigating Later Life

Later life brings questions that deserve real attention. Purpose after retirement, relationships that have grown complicated, losses that accumulate, and what this chapter is actually for. Therapy offers a space to slow down, reflect, and feel genuinely heard.

Caregiver & Family Support

For Those Caring for Aging Parents

Caring for an aging parent while managing your own life is exhausting emotionally, practically, and often invisibly. Therapy offers a space to process the grief, guilt, and complexity of this role without losing yourself in it.

Later-Life Couples Therapy

For Couples in the Second Half of Life

Long marriages carry long histories, patterns, resentments, and distances that have built up over decades. But they also carry depth, shared memory, and the possibility of reconnection. Therapy can help you understand each other again.

Hi, I’m Olea.

I'm a psychodynamic therapist working with older adults and their families in Toronto. I came to this work through my own experience as an immigrant, a daughter caring for aging parents, and someone who spent childhood listening to grandparents' stories in Kazakhstan.

I believe later life still holds questions worth exploring. My work is warm, unhurried, and grounded in genuine curiosity about who you are and what matters to you now.

I offer therapy in both English and Russian.
