About me
Who I am
I am a passionate psychologist who is also a person with ADHD, on the autism spectrum, and non-binary. These aspects of my identity shape both my perspective and my connection with the people I work with. In addition to my therapeutic practice, I also work as a diagnostician for ADHD and autism spectrum conditions in adults.
I am deeply committed to ongoing learning, whether through formal training, discussions with other specialists, or independent research. In my free time, I enjoy creating psychoeducational content. I am a member of PTDBT, and I work in English and Polish, with some knowledge of Spanish.
Privately I'm a cat lover (I have two cats) and I enjoy learning and creating new things. Currently I live in Poland but in the past I lived half a year in Valencia, Spain thanks to Erasmus program.
My credentials
I am a Master of Psychology, a psychodietetician and a DBT therapist. I'm also a Polish psychotraumatologist so I can help you process your trauma experiences better.
Who I help
I work with adults who are:
Exploring ADHD or autism diagnosis
Living with ADHD, autism, or AuDHD
LGBTQ+, queer, or questioning their identity
Struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, emotional regulation, borderline personality disorder, or burnout
Looking for a therapist who truly “gets” neurodivergence and queer experience
Just feel that I might be the person who can help them

Approach
In my practice, which I offer online, I aim to create a safe, welcoming, and accepting environment where clients feel understood. I place great value on collaboration, working with each person to find the path that suits them best. My sessions are designed to be warm and empathetic, while also structured enough to ensure that our time together is meaningful and productive.
I do not believe in rigid rules; instead, I adapt my approach to the individual by drawing on methods from psychotraumatology, DBT, CBT, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, Schema Therapy, and others, depending on what is most helpful. My work focuses primarily on supporting adults who are neurodivergent, particularly those with ADHD or on the autism spectrum, as well as adults from the LGBTQ+ community and anyone open to collaborative therapeutic work.
