About
A calm conversation, not a rushed diagnosis
I know the first step is often the hardest. People frequently come to a psychiatrist with anxiety — and there is truly nothing to fear. A visit is, above all, an ordinary, calm conversation. You won't hear medical jargon or judgement from me. Seeing a psychiatrist is just like seeing any other doctor — and that's exactly how I want you to feel here.
My role is to listen, to understand what brings you in, and to find a solution together. I explain everything in plain language and calmly, so that you leave knowing what is happening and what comes next.
I gained my professional experience at SWZPZOZ in Gostynin, the Institute of Psychiatry and Neurology (specialist placements), Nowowiejski Hospital and the Neurosis Treatment Ward in Komorów. I have many years of experience treating depression, anxiety disorders, insomnia, psychoses and mental health conditions in older adults.
I work exclusively with adults. A first visit does not automatically mean a prescription — first we talk and try to understand the problem.

Most medications used in psychiatry are not addictive. Medications with addictive potential are selected carefully and only when justified — always under a doctor's supervision.

It is worth bringing your existing medical records and a list of the medications you take. It also helps to briefly write down the symptoms and questions you want to raise.
Patient reviews
What patients say
“During the visit I felt as though I was talking, above all, with a good person rather than a doctor reeling off medical terms. I did not feel diagnosed, but listened to and treated with great respect and kindness. This is exactly the kind of person I had hoped to find.”
“The doctor is an angel of a man. Very empathetic, with a soothing and understanding tone of voice. During the conversation the atmosphere is warm and safe — you can open up. May there be more doctors with such a calling.”
“The doctor really focuses on the conversation with the patient, listens and offers concrete solutions. He describes in detail what is driving me and shows how to fix it. He always chooses the medication well. I recommend him.”
“An exceptionally helpful, empathetic and experienced doctor. My doubts were dispelled and the recommended treatment was explained in detail. I feel cared for and reassured. I recommend him with a clear conscience!”
“Great contact during the visit, an accurate diagnosis, the right choice of medication, support and the option of staying in touch between visits. I recommend him to anyone struggling with depression.”
“A very good person and a very good doctor. Empathetic, patient-focused, attentive and supportive.”
The first step is often the hardest.
