In the therapeutic process, it is important for me to look carefully at how our experiences, thoughts and emotions affect our daily functioning. I believe that a better understanding of ourselves can be the beginning of lasting and valuable change. I am a psychologist and psychotherapist undergoing training in the cognitive-behavioral approach (CBT) at the AMiE School of Psychotherapy accredited by the PTTPB. I work with adults who experience anxiety disorders, mood disorders, depression, emotional difficulties and life crises. I also support people with ADHD and those interested in personal growth, better understanding of themselves and improving the quality of their lives. In my work, I focus on an individual approach and a relationship based on trust and cooperation. I am close to an approach that combines specific therapeutic tools with attentiveness to the needs and experiences of the other person.

I have gained professional experience at, among others, the District Family Assistance Center and Bielański Hospital in the General Psychiatric Day Care Unit, as well as the Mental Health Clinic, where I work with people experiencing mental crises on a daily basis, providing psychological consultation, diagnosis and therapeutic support. I have also been involved in volunteer activities, including the Faces of Depression Foundation's Helpline, supporting people in difficult moments in their lives. I am also involved in the diagnosis of neurodiversity (ADHD, autism spectrum) and personality disorders. In the diagnostic process I use standardized psychological tools and tests, and I develop my competence in this area through numerous trainings and clinical practice. I work under constant supervision and regularly expand my knowledge of psychotherapy and psychological diagnostics.

I am an advocate of exploring new places and taking on new challenges and skills that allow me to seek inspiring areas of life and add color to everyday life. I love cinema, theater, music and good food!
