As a Polish-speaking trauma therapist, I offer culturally responsive, trauma-informed DBT therapy to teens and adults in Chicago. In a world of constant connection, the present moment can still feel distant. As a daughter of Polish immigrants, I deeply value cultural heritage and offer therapy in both English and conversational Polish. Because culture, identity, and family systems are deeply intertwined, I’m especially passionate about supporting people navigating family dynamics, intergenerational trauma, and cultural identity. Ultimately, I believe healing happens through empathy, humor, and collaboration. Polish-speaking trauma therapist offering trauma-informed DBT in Chicago

Who I Work With: I specialize in working with teens and adults who may be experiencing:

  • Identity exploration and cultural stress
  • Trauma and intergenerational wounds
  • Relationship challenges and attachment concerns
  • Anxiety, self-esteem, and perfectionism
  • Queerness and LGBTQIA+ identities
  • Life transitions and emerging adulthood
  • Neurodivergence, including ADHD and sensory sensitivities

As a result, therapy becomes a space for clarity, skill-building, and meaningful change. Whether you’re facing long-standing patterns or navigating new life transitions, our work will focus on curiosity, gentle challenge, and affirmation. Ultimately, the goal is to help you move forward with greater confidence and self-understanding. Trauma-informed DBT therapy with a Polish-speaking trauma therapist.

Group Therapy.

In addition to individual therapy, I facilitate and co-lead several therapy groups at Mind Body Co-op, including.

Restoring Self: A Trauma Healing & Support Group is a trauma healing and support group for adults impacted by one or more traumatic experiences. Members connect in a compassionate group setting to process experiences, explore coping patterns, and build greater safety, self-understanding, and resilience.

I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from National Louis University, where I learned to value presence, acceptance, and relational depth.

“How do you know this is the experience you need? Because this is the experience you are having at the moment.”

Your experience matters—and I would be honored to help you make sense of it.
