About me

I am a psychologist and behavior analyst (BCBA, IBA). I have worked with people with intellectual disability since 2020.

I support people of all ages with intellectual disability, including those who are also autistic, and autistic children without intellectual disability. I offer consultations and direct skills teaching, including support for children with a PDA profile, in collaboration with families and teachers.

I also have personal experience of home education. Alongside learning goals, I consider the family’s time and resources and the person’s own preferences.

How I work

I wear the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower as a personal sign of an invisible disability. I do not represent or have any affiliation with Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Scheme Limited.

Education and professional development

  • Psychology — Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań.
  • Graduate certificate program in applied behavior analysis — ABA Graduate Certificate, Florida Institute of Technology.
  • BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) and IBA (International Behavior Analyst) credentials.
  • Around 200 hours of documented continuing education (CEU / CE), including behavior analysis, communication, and ethics.

I have begun cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) training at SWPS and CBT education at Beck Institute. I am currently in training.

I use tools including ABAS-3, VB-MAPP, and PEAK to assess skills and plan support. You can read more about RFT, PEAK, AIM, and LIFE on the How I work page.

Scope and limits

I do not provide psychotherapy, comprehensive clinical diagnosis, or crisis intervention. Skills assessments guide teaching. Before working toward changes in behavior, I first explore the context in which it occurs.
