It takes courage to try something new when the old ways of navigating emotional landscapes and important relationships fail us and keep us stuck. None of us goes through life unharmed, so naturally we develop self-protective patterns to cope with the pain. Together, in a safe, warm, and judgment-free space, let us explore and process the underlying sources of your troubling symptoms and unhelpful behaviors at a pace that feels right for you. By going deep we will ensure long-term results. As you come to understand how your innermost self has had to adapt to the environment, the new ways of relating to oneself and others will emerge.

I am a bilingual (English/Serbian, Bosnian, Croatian) therapist.
Life is full of transitions and adjustments; in each of these, you deserve a safe and supportive space to talk about it in a relaxed, guided manner. I believe in the importance of language- how you talk to and about yourself and others- and in the power of stories that make life. I want to help you recognize which stories you wrote in alignment with your values and which were imposed on you by society, culture, and the people close to you. In therapy, I utilize evidence-based techniques while also recognizing that your mind is a vast universe to be approached from a philosophical and spiritual place.

Nowadays everyone needs another human being to talk to. Life gets busy, everyday stress accumulates, and we are left struggling to get through our many obligations of the day. Some people experience anxiety when faced with so many obstacles and such a fast-paced, high-stress lifestyle we all live. Others become depressed as they compare themselves with "picture-perfect" lives our friends lead on social media. Others yet may find substances, such as drugs or alcohol, temporarily relieve their symptoms of depression/anxiety or whatever else they may struggle with, but create more problems in a long run.

I work with with couples, families and individuals to fully realize their potentials and help them have the experiences they want in their lives and relationships. This can prove especially difficult when there are so many factors affecting one's well-being; a boss at work that doesn't respect you, a spouse that doesn't understand you, a friend that doesn't contact you. I try to explore all of these influences and help you find the place where you want to be in.
