I’m an integrative, affirming therapist for LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, kinky, and poly/ENM adults who want therapy that feels real, grounded, and human. You might look like you have it together but feel anxious, over-responsible, or quietly ashamed - like your family still lives in your head. Perfectionism, social anxiety, or relationship strain may be part of the story. Underneath, you’re often longing for relief, clearer language for what’s happening, and the self-trust to live in a way that actually fits you. I'm here to be the steady support you need on your unique path. Your story can shift.

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.

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.

If you’re tired of “coping” and ready for real change, you’re in the right place.
Many of the people I work with are high functioning on the outside but struggling internally - overthinking, carrying old experiences, or feeling unsettled by a life shift they didn’t expect.
Therapy with me is practical, collaborative, and human. This isn’t about endless venting or quick fixes, it’s about understanding what’s actually driving your distress and helping you respond differently, with more clarity and control.

No one had a perfect childhood, including you! Maybe your anxiety, depression, unhealthy coping, relationship struggles, and inner chaos aren't a character flaw, but a sign of untreated emotional wounds. Unless we actively attempt to make sense of our reactions and behaviors, they will continue to control us. Our bodies and minds remember the pain from the past and react to that pain whenever something reminds us of it. Increasing our awareness of these connections can be eye-opening and can allow us to shift how we perceive ourselves and our relationships. You are not to blame for the ways in which you learned to protect yourself.

About Me
I’m a bilingual LCPC with over 15 years of experience in mental health, offering therapy in both Polish and English for Kids, adults and teens (6+).
I believe true healing begins when we stop living from old, unconscious beliefs and start living with awareness, presence, and intention — becoming true manifestors of our lives.

By empowering clients to rewrite their own narratives, I encourage them to take charge of their life stories and create the changes they want to see. Using a collaborative, individualized approach, I strive to promote a warm, supportive, growth-oriented therapeutic environment while celebrating multicultural diversity and intersecting identities. I believe that therapy can aid individuals in achieving a greater sense of inner harmony and healing by providing guidance, insight, and understanding. In session, I aim to create a safe space for clients to explore areas of stress in their lives which do not align with their ideal self.
