Research Interests: 

My research is primarily focused on associations between exposure to stigma(s) and health inequalities with particular focus on sexual health in gender and sexually diverse populations. I apply both minority stress and intersectionality frameworks in my work. I am also involved in sexual health activism, being a psychologist I support gender and sexually diverse community in Poland, and I work as a counselor in HIV testing center.
