About
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over a decade of clinical experience. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, burnout, and persistent relational or life patterns that feel difficult to shift. Many of my clients arrive feeling overwhelmed, stuck in loops of overthinking, emotional exhaustion, or a sense of disconnection from themselves and their direction. Our work focuses on consciously evaluating these patterns so they can be understood at the root—and approached with more clarity and steadiness.
Approach
My work is integrative and depth-oriented, grounded in both traditional psychotherapy and mind-body awareness. Alongside talk therapy, I incorporate somatic and experiential tools when appropriate—including breath, attention to nervous system states, and simple grounding practices that support regulation and integration. The focus is not just insight, but embodied change—what shifts in your lived experience, not only what is understood cognitively. I also draw from training in health coaching and yoga, which informs a practical, holistic approach to self-care and regulation.
Clinical Perspective
I do not view anxiety or stress as defects to eliminate. They are adaptive signals—often pointing to unmet needs, internal conflict, or long-standing patterns of protection. In therapy, we learn to listen to these signals differently, so they become information rather than overwhelm.
How I Work
My style is collaborative, steady, and grounded. Sessions are structured enough to feel contained, but flexible enough to follow what is most present and important for you in the moment. The work is both reflective and practical, with attention to what is happening internally and how it shows up in your daily life.

Outside the Therapy Room
Outside of clinical work, I value practices that support steadiness and presence—time in nature, movement, and quiet daily rituals. I spend time between California and visits with family in Poland, which remains an important part of my life and grounding. This orientation toward slowing down and reconnecting to what is essential naturally informs how I hold the therapeutic space.
