About me

When working with children and young people, the most important thing for me is to understand not only the difficulties they describe, but also how they function within their family, at school and in their relationships with others. I work within the cognitive-behavioural approach, tailoring my methods to the age, needs and capabilities of each individual client. I attach great importance to a thorough diagnosis and jointly defining the goals of therapy – it is important to me that the young person understands what we are working on and why. I am particularly interested in areas related to ADHD, the autism spectrum and the emotional difficulties of adolescence. The moment that gives me the greatest satisfaction is when a young person begins to understand themselves better and realises that they have a real influence on their own functioning and relationships.

Education and experience

I am a psychologist, a Doctor of Medical and Health Sciences, and a certified cognitive-behavioural psychotherapist with the PTTPB. Since 2018, I have worked at the Clinic of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the Institute of Psychiatry and Neurology, where I was involved in the diagnosis and psychotherapy of children and adolescents, as well as working with their families. I also headed the Day Care Unit for Children and Adolescents on Goplańska Street, which operates within the Institute of Psychiatry and Neurology (IPiN). Since 2026, I have held the post of Deputy Medical Director at the Mazovian Centre for Neuropsychiatry. In my clinical work, I focus particularly on neurodevelopmental disorders, including ADHD and autism spectrum disorders, as well as emotional difficulties during adolescence.
