I believe in the inherent resilience of individuals and their capacity for growth and healing. My goal is to empower clients to overcome obstacles, cultivate self-awareness, and live fulfilling lives aligned with their own values. As a spouse of a veteran and retired firefighter/paramedic, I bring a unique perspective to my counseling practice. My journey has been shaped by experiences witnessing the challenges faced by first responders, veterans, and their families; both on the job and at home. These experiences have fueled my passion for mental health advocacy and led me to pursue a career in counseling.

Sometimes we just need someone we can talk to who is willing to genuinely listen without any judgment.

As a bilingual (Polish/English) clinical social worker, I’ve worked with all ages. It is important that clients have a sense of safety while also feeling empowered as we work together to make change.

I am an empathetic therapist who believes that each session can be utilized as a vehicle for personal growth. Within the therapeutic relationship, I place an emphasis on exploring past experiences that have an influence upon the present, along with navigating through relational dynamics that become present during the therapeutic hour. Focusing on these areas leads to a deeper understanding and awareness of one’s own thoughts and feelings, while helping to resolve the influence of troubling past experiences on the present.

Often times we look back on our past with disdain and dwell on “what ifs” and fall into second-guessing ourselves. In my work with you, we will focus on how you can accept and make peace with your past, while also learning from past situations. I believe that everyone has a story to tell and can learn to embrace their past as a stepping stone for a brighter tomorrow. My goal is to create an open and safe environment where you can: raise your concerns, fears and needs; become more accepting of yourself; clarify your goals; and determine how you can work to achieve your goals and resolve current challenges.
