I’m Evelyn, a licensed psychotherapist and Spiritually Integrated Therapist.
My heart genuinely sparkles when I get to sit with people in the in-between, when life has changed everything, the old version of you no longer fits, and what comes next has not fully revealed itself.
I understand how confusing, lonely, and disorienting that space can feel. I also know it can become a place to pause, question, reconnect with yourself, and allow something new to unfold.
I created Dr. Ev’s Oasis as a space where you don’t have to force an answer, perform wellness, or fit yourself into a box. You can arrive as you are and explore what feels true, meaningful, and possible from here.
Welcome to the OASIS!
The Oasis Is More Than a Name
It reflects the way I approach therapy: Slowing down, listening inwardly, accepting life as it is, and taking meaningful steps toward what matters to you.
O — Open to what you’re feeling: Even when it feels uncomfortable, confusing, or contradictory.
A — Allow life to be uncertain: You don’t need all the answers before you can move forward.
S — Stay with yourself in the moment: Rather than abandoning yourself when fear, grief, or uncertainty arises.
I — Integrate what matters most: Bring your insights, values, spiritual experiences, and inner wisdom into everyday life.
S — Step back into your life: One grounded, meaningful step at a time.
This is the heart of Dr. Ev’s Oasis: a place to be seen, accepted, and empowered while you find your own way forward.
What It’s Like to S.I.T. With Me
Therapy with me is not a stiff “therapist and client” performance. It’s two humans, and two souls, having a real conversation. Sessions can be deep, practical, emotional, curious, and sometimes very funny.
My intuition is one of my strongest guidance systems. I listen to your words and what may be underneath them, trusting where your soul needs us to go in that moment.
I don’t force sessions into a formula. I follow what feels most important while helping you notice patterns, challenge what keeps you stuck, and take meaningful action. You remain the authority on your experience, and we move at your pace.
I may share parts of my own experience when they could genuinely support you. You can show up messy, quiet, angry, hopeful, laughing, crying, or all of it at once. And yes, you can cuss. I do, too. :-)
You’re Not a Problem to Fix
I don’t believe people are broken. We can be hurting, overwhelmed, disconnected, or completely lost. That’s not the same as being broken.
Fear, grief, and uncertainty are part of being human. When we keep pushing them away, they often begin running the show. When we face them honestly and compassionately, we create more room for clarity, choice, and real change.
My role is not to tell you who to be, what to believe, or how you should make sense of your life. It is to help you hear your own inner wisdom, make space for the whole experience, and take meaningful steps toward the life that feels true to you.
Spirituality is always welcome here if it matters to you. It’s never forced, and you don’t need to follow any particular belief system.
We May Be a Good Fit If…
You feel deeply, think deeply, and want space for both the psychological and spiritual parts of being human. You might be navigating:
The death of a person or pet, or an anticipated loss
Fear of death, aging, illness, or nonexistence
Questions about your identity, beliefs, purpose, or the meaning of life
A near-death experience, spiritual awakening, or profound shift in consciousness
Beliefs shaped by religion, fear, or spiritual trauma
The uncertain space between who you were and who you’re becoming
A desire for more than coping skills, including honest exploration and meaningful action
You don’t need to have the right words or know exactly what you believe. Curiosity and openness are enough.
Experience, Training, and Yes, the Papers :-)

Affirming Care & Professional Connections
On a Personal Note
I grew up in Estonia, lived in Israel for a time, and have lived in the United States since 2002. Moving between countries and cultures has shaped how I understand identity, belonging, adaptation, and what it means to rebuild your life. I also speak Russian and Estonian, and I bring a multicultural perspective to my work. I know that sometimes we can belong to several places and still feel like we don’t completely belong anywhere.
I also identify as aromantic and asexual, a highly sensitive person, and an empath. These parts of me have shaped how I understand connection, belonging, and what it feels like to experience life differently from the people around me. They also help me connect deeply with people who have felt misunderstood, “too sensitive,” outside the norm, or pressured to fit into a life that never felt like theirs.
