I understand that seeking counseling can be intimidating and may create many fears. This is why it is important to me to provide a safe, caring and nonjudgmental environment. I appreciate client's efforts and attempts to help themselves and I'm proud to be part of that process. I invite each client to be involved in the process of goal setting and treatment planning, which is specifically designed to each individual, based on their symptoms, needs and past experiences. Therapy is a process during which I address not only your symptoms but also any additional life stressors and challenges.

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.

It takes courage and resilience to process difficult emotions, sit with discomfort, or face confusion. My relational approach is collaborative, holistic, and aimed at helping clients develop this capacity, along with curiosity and compassion for their whole selves, even the parts they may not like.

Working in this way, I help clients gain clarity and feel empowered to make new choices and build a meaningful way forward that is more peaceful, joyful, and fulfilling.

Cognitive challenges can arise from various factors, including medical conditions, attention difficulties, or concerns about changes in thinking and memory. Many individuals seek clarity on whether these issues stem from aging, health conditions, or lifelong patterns of functioning. My goal is to help clients understand their cognitive profile, providing a clear diagnosis and practical recommendations to improve daily functioning and overall well-being.

Life’s stressors can quietly wear us down, affecting our mood, health, and relationships - sometimes leaving us anxious, shut down, or disconnected. The ways we respond to stress are not random; they are largely shaped by early childhood experiences, which influence how we cope with challenges throughout our lives. Gaining insight into how these experiences shape us, and exploring the root causes of our behaviors - "why we do what we do" - are critical steps in strengthening our ability to manage stress, break old cycles, and ultimately feel better.

I believe healing begins in a safe, trusting relationship. I help clients reconnect with their inner resilience and wisdom, gently exploring the unprocessed experiences that can feel overwhelming or stuck.
I support adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, self-criticism, or the exhaustion of “survival mode.” I also work with those living with chronic pain, using mind-body approaches like mindfulness and Internal Family Systems (IFS). With couples, I guide partners away from blame and reactivity toward deeper understanding, effective communication, and renewed connection.
