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.

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.

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.

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.

In addition to English, I also provide services in Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian and Hebrew.
I have over 10 years of clinical experience in outpatient clinics, schools, private practice, and humanitarian organizations. My practice has been informed by clinical training and extensive academic background in developmental psychology. It also incorporates my life experience in coping with challenges of immigration, parenthood, career transitions and aging. I believe that healing entails personal growth. You may need to develop a new awareness, an insight, or a specific coping skill to resolve your problem. I provide a safe space for you to explore what is that you need in order to live a more productive and enjoyable life.

I offer a therapeutic depth approach for high achievers who are secretly falling apart.
This might be you if:
You can't stop working even though you're miserable.
Success arrived but meaning didn't.
Grief broke you open but there's nowhere safe to fall.
You've adapted so perfectly to each environment that you've lost your original shape.
I offer somatic and eco-therapy for burnout, grief, identity crises, and that hollow feeling when you've won every game but lost yourself. As a former techie, turned therapist and competitive rower at 40—I understand reinvention, high performance, and the cost of constant adaptation.

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.
