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.

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.

Waitlist for new clients
Z przyjściem na terapie jest podobnie jak z zabraniem auta do warsztatu. Mechanik musi otworzyć maskę i zaglądnąć do środka. Zejść do kanału i oglądnąć podwozie samochodu, a niekiedy musi się nim nawet przejechać. Dopiero wtedy jest w stanie stwierdzić co jest nie tak. Podobnie, gdy idziemy na terapię, sam fakt, że przychodzimy i siadamy naprzeciwko terapeuty niewiele wnosi. Jako terapeuta zdaję sobie sprawę, że zaufanie potrzebuje czasu i poczucia bezpieczenstwa, które nie zawsze przychodzi łatwo. Dlatego staram się, aby było to fundamentem mojej praktyki.

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.
