Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with 15 years of experience in the counseling field, trained in integrative approaches including EMDR, Brainspotting, somatic/body-based therapies, and mindfulness. I am dedicated to helping clients heal through a holistic approach that supports the body, mind, and spirit

My approach to therapy

My style is client-centered and trauma-informed, emphasizing safety, trust, and empathy. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and mood disorders related to hormonal changes such as PMDD. I believe in the mind's natural power to heal when provided with the right tools and support. I also provide therapy in Polish and offer both in-person and telehealth appointments.

What you can expect from me

I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and non-judgmental environment where clients feel empowered to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Through our sessions, clients can expect to develop a greater understanding of themselves and their patterns, learn practical skills to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, or trauma, and ultimately, foster a more compassionate relationship with themselves.
