As we know, challenging and difficult experiences can have huge impacts on the quality of our lives, but they can also lead to meaningful change. I believe there is no experience or challenge that is too big or too small to reach out for support and it is important to me that you feel heard, supported, empowered and safe in this process.
I have 13 years of experience working with individuals of all ages and diverse backgrounds, in various settings including schools, private practice and community agencies. My primary focus has been on supporting children/youth and their families, as well as adults struggling with stress management, their interpersonal relationships, family conflict and change, school and workplace adjustment, trauma, grief, life transitions, emotion regulation, self-esteem, self-harm, suicidal ideation, feelings of anxiety and/or depression, and disordered eating.
Therapy is such a uniquely personal process, and I am passionate about helping you build healthy and authentic connections with yourself and others, helping you uncover and understand emotional and behaviour patterns, underlying perceptions and beliefs, the impact of past and present experiences, and challenges in relationships.
In addition, through developmentally appropriate approaches and psychoeducation, I am passionate about helping children/youth and their families gain more awareness, acceptance, social skills, emotion regulation skills, and the ability to see beyond behaviours to build confidence and strengthen the relationships necessary thrive in today's world.
I use strengths based, person centered and trauma-informed approaches and have specialized training in therapeutic modalities such as Emotion-Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) in my practice. I also draw from Attachment Based and Play therapies, and incorporate mindfulness, somatic(body) work, as well as utilize Art therapy.
I offer Telehealth services (both telephone and secure video) and in-person services.
My services are available in both English and Polish.
