​

I’m a warm, curious and engaging Registered Psychologist who believes therapy should make room for the whole human— not just the symptoms or problems we’ve been taught to fix.

​

I’m particularly passionate about working with neurodivergent people, especially autistic, ADHD and AuDHD women. As a late-diagnosed AuDHD woman myself, I know how powerful it can be to finally have language for experiences that may have felt confusing, exhausting or simply like “why does everything seem harder than it should?”

​

My approach is neuroaffirming, trauma-informed, culturally responsive and holistic. I draw from evidence-based therapies including EMDR and Schema Therapy, alongside somatic approaches, breathwork and nature-based therapy. I’m interested in understanding the connection between our minds, bodies, relationships, environments, cultures and communities — because none of us exist in isolation.

​

I’m especially passionate about the intersections of neurodivergence, identity, cultural belonging, grief and joy. Therapy might involve making sense of a late diagnosis, understanding yourself beyond years of masking, reconnecting with your cultural identity, navigating migration and belonging, grieving what was lost or never had, or creating space for parts of yourself that have been pushed aside along the way.

​

As someone who grew up in Poland and later had my psychology qualifications recognised in Australia, cultural identity and the immigrant experience are close to my heart. I believe culture is an important part of understanding who we are, how we relate to others and what healing looks like for us. I aim to create a space where different cultures, identities, abilities, faiths and ways of understanding the world are respected and welcomed.

​

I also believe personal healing and collective wellbeing are deeply connected. The systems, communities and environments we live within matter. So, for me, therapy isn’t about “What’s wrong with you?” It’s about asking “What happened to you?”, “What has been happening around you?”, and perhaps most importantly, “What do you want from here?”

​

Over the years, I’ve supported adults, adolescents and children experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, self-harm, grief and loss, relationship and family difficulties, life transitions, shame, low self-esteem, loneliness, stress and feeling lost or overwhelmed.

​

You don’t need to arrive with a perfectly packaged problem.

Maybe you’re exhausted from holding everything together.
Maybe you’ve spent years wondering why you seem to operate differently from everyone around you.
Maybe you’re navigating a new understanding of yourself after diagnosis.Maybe you're exploring whether Autism or/and ADHD can be part of your story.
Maybe you’re grieving a version of yourself, your life, your culture or your relationships.
Or maybe you simply know that something needs to change, but you’re not quite sure what yet.

​

We can start there.

​

I’m continually learning and expanding my practice because I don’t believe there is one universal pathway to healing. I’m particularly drawn to somatic and nature-based therapies, breathwork, traditional wisdom and practices, and ways of working that honour embodiment, connection, ancestry and the knowledge we carry beyond the therapy room.

Outside of psychology, you’ll usually find me immersed in nature, getting my hands dirty with pottery, baking something I probably didn’t need to bake, or spending time with friends, family and my dog.

​

Therapy isn’t about becoming a version of who you’re supposed to be.

Sometimes it’s about understanding yourself more deeply, making space for what has been, reconnecting with what matters, and figuring out what a life that actually feels like yours could look like.
