You’ve been working hard and pushing through the instability and frustrations of a global pandemic for years now. Maybe you’ve even recognized the value of mental health, attempted to set boundaries at work, or added self-care tasks to your to-do list. From the outside, so much in your life seems to be going “right” but deep down you’re exhausted. Your efforts to leave work at work and to listen to a meditation app in the morning aren’t cutting it. You just aren’t happy and you’re not sure why. You may have even been to therapy before and learned some decent strategies, but didn’t get the deep results you were hoping for. I can help

Do you find comfort in order, predictability, or getting things just right? While these traits can be strengths, they may also signal Anxiety or OCD when doubt and responsibility begin to feel overwhelming. Our brains naturally seek certainty and don’t like the unknown. If you’re feeling stuck in cycles of anxious thoughts or compulsions, more fearful, or easily irritated, supportive, evidence-based care can help. I was born and raised in Poland and have called San Diego home since 2002. With BA and MSW degrees from SDSU and over a decade of experience, I specialize in treating OCD and Anxiety using CBT, ERP, I-CBT, ACT, and DBT.

Or are you tired of the pain and stress of a relationship that's going nowhere?
Societal pressures often make it difficult for men to seek mental health help. From a young age we are taught that we should be strong and independent, and that expressing emotions is a sign of weakness. This stigma can make it difficult to admit we need help, even to our closest loved ones.
