At Aeris Counseling, I see therapy as a space shaped by change — much like clouds in the sky. Clouds remind me that life is layered, ever-shifting, and always moving toward new forms. In the same way, I believe therapy offers room to hold what feels heavy, to notice what is transforming, and to discover new ways of being. You may be carrying grief, navigating cultural transitions, adjusting to family dynamics, living with chronic pain, or facing fertility and postpartum challenges. The first step into therapy is often the hardest — it doesn’t require clarity, just openness. And by being here, you’ve already begun.
I bring 12+ years of experience, a Master’s degree from Spain, and training in Poland and the U.S. I work with grief, cultural transitions, chronic pain, fertility and postpartum challenges, identity, and family dynamics. My approach is gentle but direct, blending CBT, EMDR, narrative, mindfulness, and trauma- and grief-informed care.
Whatever brings you here, my role is to walk alongside you with presence, care, and curiosity as we create a path that fits you. My hope is that you leave our sessions feeling more grounded, more connected to yourself, and with tools and insights to support you beyond our time together. For appointments, follow the headway website info I left on the profile.
