Successful therapy is not about doing something for our client but rather being someone for our client. Clients need someone who can listen, support or guide them through their life journey. I’m a bilingual Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with over 10 years of experience working in the mental health and substance abuse field. I’m certified in anger management and perinatal mental health. As a first-generation immigrant from Poland, I also provide support to clients struggling with acculturation and cultural differences. I believe each client is unique and has their own journey to share.

Life can feel overwhelming at times. You might be struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, loss, addiction, career uncertainty, parenting difficulties, or legal challenges. Transitions—whether expected or sudden—can bring emotional turmoil and self-doubt. Perhaps you feel stuck, misunderstood, or burdened by past experiences. You want relief, clarity, and a way forward, but you’re unsure where to start. Seeking support is not always easy, but you don’t have to navigate these challenges alone.

My approach to therapy is cognitive-behavioral based and I aim to guide you in recognizing how your thoughts, feelings and actions are interconnected. I focus on identifying these thought distortions and behaviors that are barriers to a healthy life. I aim to build an authentic non-judgmental therapeutic relationship rooted in empathy, hope, and support and I will strive to honor who you are as an individual. The populations I have worked with include adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. I am also a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor.

You are the fixer everyone relies on—the high-achieving professional, the student under immense pressure, or the provider holding it all together. But inside, you’re hitting a wall of burnout. Whether it’s the weight of anxiety or depression, the cycles of OCD, a history of trauma, or the exhaustion of high-stakes transitions, you’re tired of performing for others. You need a space where you can stop being the person with all the answers and start being the person who gets some support. I help you quiet the noise of "shoulds" and regain agency over a life that finally feels like your own.

My ideal clients often feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, anxiety, or self-doubt. They may replay conversations, worry about making mistakes, or feel pressure to meet high expectations. Many are thoughtful, responsible people who appear calm on the outside but feel mentally exhausted inside. They want relief from the constant mental noise and a way to stop second-guessing themselves. Their goal is to feel calmer, more confident in their decisions, and more present in their lives and relationships.

Cześć! You don’t need to have everything figured out to start therapy. We’ll work at your pace.
