Bio

Through our closest relationships, we find safety, support, and belonging, yet relationships can also be where we experience our deepest hurt. When we lose a sense of connection with the people who matter most, we may feel alone, misunderstood, or caught in painful patterns of conflict. I believe meaningful change begins with feeling understood, connected, and emotionally safe. I support individuals, couples, families, and children as they navigate relational challenges, life transitions, and emotional struggles. Together, we explore the patterns and cycles that can create distance and distress, creating space for greater safety, connection, and mutual understanding.

My approach is grounded in Family Systems Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), with a trauma-informed and culturally responsive perspective. I have completed an externship in emotion-focused couples therapy (EFT) and Core Skills training through the Chicago Center for Emotion-Focused Therapy.

I offer therapy in English and Polish, honoring each client’s unique experiences, culture, and values. My goal is to walk alongside you as you build greater emotional well-being and healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
