I'm a first generation Polish-American. Learning a new language, adapting to a new country and establishing my identity taught me about resilience, embracing change, and working hard. Whatever issues you face, I know you are resilient. You have unique strengths with the ability to change and grow. My passion is counseling families, couples, children, adolescents and adults. My approach is holistic, which covers your total wellbeing - Physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. I'll help you use your own values, skills, and knowledge to heal troubling issues and live a much better life - One with greater meaning to it.
Your thoughts, beliefs and attitudes affect how you feel and behave. I'll give you effective tools to deal with your issues, whatever they are. You'll experience real change in your life with consistent and repeatable results. You'll leave my office feeling better than when you arrived.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I help families deal with grief and loss, depression, anxiety, and parenting issues. Sound like you? Then I urge you to call me for a FREE CONSULTATION to see if my counseling's right for you. I'd love to hear from you.
