Bosnian Therapists in San Francisco, CA
I work with clients who are (highly) sensitive and/or gifted, who struggle with anxiety or complex trauma, and/or who are curious about their neurodivergence. I also work with therapists.
Sensitive people have a finely attuned nervous system, they experience life deeply, yet don't always feel easily understood by others. Growing up, they may have experienced not fitting in, and have adapted to a largely non-sensitive world in myriad ways that didn't always serve their best interest. I support my clients on their path to finding their voice, experiencing genuine relationships, purposeful work, and reclaiming their space in the world.

I specialize in working with adults who are navigating anxiety, betrayal trauma, and nervous system dysregulation. Many of my patients come to me feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected and together, we work toward creating a greater sense of calm, balance, and wholeness.
My approach is trauma-informed and integrative. I draw on psychodynamics, relational work, somatic practices, mindfulness, and evidence-based methods to support both body and mind. In our work, you’ll find a safe, compassionate space to explore your experiences and move at your own pace.

Many people come to me feeling stuck—overthinking, overwhelmed, emotionally reactive, or caught in a repeating relationship pattern even when they’re trying hard to change. You may be navigating grief, trauma, a major life transition, inner transformation, or a sense of disconnection from yourself or others.

Everyone functions uniquely, at times experiencing depression, anxiety, insecurities, doubt, and grief. I help people around these issues, as well as introversion, high-functioning Asperger's, bipolar, OCD, and social awkwardness...relationship issues, self-esteem, living with narcissists, identity. We can decide how to deal with life's changes, challenges, and transitions. We will focus compassionately on emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and relationships to examine patterns and slowly change them. Our ability to observe and use our will to change are the most powerful tools we possess to bring about changes we desire.

Clients often come in feeling tired, weighed down by responsibilities, or stuck in habits that thinking alone hasn't changed. They may be dealing with burnout, anxiety, big life changes, questions about who they are, or ongoing issues with others that seem hard to fix.
My approach is integrative and collaborative. I use CBT, mindfulness-based therapies, somatic methods, and depth-oriented practices. This addresses both current symptoms and underlying dynamics shaping one's inner world. Together, we seek meaningful and lasting transformation. This means not just coping, but finding clarity, connection, and ease.

You overreact to small provocations, or you freeze when frustrated. Your emotions appear out of context. It is hard to explain or even understand why you acted the way you did when you were upset. Later, you think of better responses, and beat yourself up for continuously doing something you regret. I’ve worked with hundreds of adults over the past 15 years, and I have a professional approach that will make it easy for you to understand what is going on with you, and how it all makes sense within the context of your life experiences.

You already know something needs to change. You feel it in your body, in your relationships, in the distance between the life you're living and the one you actually want.
It goes beyond strategies. Beyond understanding alone. You could likely benefit from an opportunity to feel what's actually here, and find your way through it.
I work with individuals and couples who are done circling the same patterns and ready to move. We start by naming what is, and creating the space and capacity to be with it. No matter how tender, how painful, how disconnected or scary.

Do you ever feel alone? Do you feel there's more to everything than this? Within every person exists enormous power. At some point in our lives we face a "void." The void is the symbolic space we create for whatever is missing in our lives; what we imagine will make us feel complete. We spend massive amounts of energy attempting to fill this void with negative relationships, substances, money, possessions, etc. Yet somehow we end up feeling empty.
