Navigating life’s complexities, identity development, trauma, relationship challenges, or cross-cultural experiences can feel overwhelming or fragmented at times. Therapy can offer a space to piece together your story with curiosity, compassion, and grounded support. I work with individuals and couples seeking understanding and healing around trauma, PTSD, intergenerational stress, inner child healing, identity exploration, life transitions, shame, anxiety, depression, and the pressures of growing up in diaspora and queer/trans experiences.
I use a trauma-responsive, relational approach that centers you as the expert on your own life. My work is interactive and integrates psychodynamic methods, Somatic Experiencing, CBT, and DBT to support insight, emotional regulation, and mind-body connection. I offer therapy in English and Macedonian.
I understand how difficult it can be to show up as your authentic self, especially when identity concerns or past experiences hold weight. As a queer and trans therapist, I aim to foster a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental space where you can build self-awareness, strengthen resilience, and create meaningful change.

Our bodies tell the stories of our lives—they hold onto all the pieces we have collected from the world, others, and ourselves. Each experience and interaction contributes uniquely to who we are, shaping our nervous systems, emotional responses, behaviors, and thoughts. And while we continually craft our ever-evolving lives, some of these pieces may not fit together the way we want them to.
