I understand what it feels like to seek belonging and connection again, all while navigating heavy grief of leaving your homeland. My lived experience of moving from Poland to Canada as an adolescent allows for a deep understanding in missing home, as well as adapting to new cultures and connecting with communities. I know what it is like to experience cultural diaspora, the reality of living in two worlds at the same time, and code-switching.

I work with individuals (14+), supporting a range of concerns including Trauma (interpersonal and systemic), Anxiety (rumination, overthinking), Depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Borderline Personality Disorder, Chronic Illness, Attachment and challenging Relationship patterns, Low Self-Worth, Perfectionism, Poor Body Image, and Identity exploration. I also specialize in supporting people impacted by Gender-Based Violence, Intimate Partner Violence, and Human Trafficking.

I am passionate about Narrative Therapy and trauma-informed CBT and DBT, which can provide a lot of perspective. I hold two clinical trainings in EMDR. This intervention allows us to process roots of trauma while prioritizing your immediate safety and creating sustainable changes.

I can support you in navigating Intergenerational Trauma and Adverse Childhood Experiences. Growing up as a child, I listened to wisdom and traumatic experiences of my Polish Great-Grandmother who navigated life during WWI and WWII. I know how healing it is to speak about hard experiences, and that shame and challenging emotions decrease in intensity while we feel them in spaces that are psychologically safe.

You are not your traumatic experiences, you experienced trauma. Healing is possible. 

I am mindful of just how important collective care and connecting with communities are to mental health. As a Registered Social Worker with 9 years of experience, I approach wellbeing holistically. Besides processing hard experiences, therapy space can also be an area for lightness and laughter.

My own “glimmers” are dogs, listening to music, and studying trees, flowers, and minerals.

I look forward to the possibility of working with you and to walking on this journey next to your side.
