I'm a Polish-born woman and a therapist who obtained a master's degree in clinical psychology in Poland and a master’s degree in social work in Connecticut.
I’m currently pursuing a Doctorate in Social Work to further expand my knowledge and clinical experience. I speak Polish fluently. Rozmawiam po Polsku, jest to mój ojczysty język.
I'm passionate about clinical practice that includes psychoeducation, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), elements of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and a skill-building approach. I have over 25 years of experience as an individual and group therapist, including working for Yale Health System for 20 years.
My goals are to listen to you, assess your needs, and create a treatment plan that will work for you and allow you to achieve stability in your mental health, personal growth, and increased life satisfaction. To help you understand the mechanisms of mental health and teach you skills to support self-care and health-promoting decisions.
I'm passionate about mental health prevention and collaboration with your support system to inspire personal growth. I believe in the power of positive social interactions, good sleep patterns, and well-established nutritional habits that support mental health.
I'm skilled in detecting early warning signs of serious mental illness and psychosis, increasing mood stabilization, and decreasing anxiety. I have a holistic approach to therapy, and I believe in a short-term and solution-focused approach. My priority is to lead and support you in your journey to improve your mental health and quality of life.
