Connections and community are a vital lifeline during times of distress. Let's work together to be able to build skills that you can take with you outside of session. As a Polish immigrant I understand those who are exhausted and want a change, who may feel scared right now. Navigating childhood trauma, life transitions, or sex therapy does not have to be a scary, lonely, road. By creating a safe, gentle space, we can begin to emotionally and somatically process the pain you feel. You will take away life long skills for emotional regulation and can begin to feel harmony and balance.
Techniques tailored to your needs and interests, and gentle cognitive exercises that allow you to process tough decisions are my specialty. I can teach you the skills of resourcing, cognitive restructuring, and ways to process both historical and recent traumas. I use EMDR techniques to help you somatically process pains and wounds of the past.
I believe you are the expert in your life, and as we collaborate in sessions, you will find the skills needed to become your best self. As a non-binary queer therapist, I want to provide LGBTQ+ people a space to be celebrated and empowered. In sessions, you can let yourself happen and let go of being alone.
