As a trauma-informed therapist, I create a supportive space where you can explore your story, your challenges, and your strengths. I work with children, adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, cultural transitions, and relationship challenges.

If you prefer, we can use the English, Serbian, Bosnian, Montenegrin, or Croatian language in our sessions.
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.

Waitlist for new clients
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.

I am fluent in English, Macedonian, Serbian, Bosnian, Croatian, and Bulgarian.
I specialize in supporting individuals who feel unseen, unheard, or overwhelmed by major life transitions and the expectations placed on them. As an internationally trained counselor, I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem challenges, and identity concerns. I am especially committed to creating a safe, affirming space for LGBTQ+ individuals and immigrants who may feel pressured to hide parts of themselves. In our sessions, we will explore where you are now, honor where you’ve been, and uncover the strengths you’ve always carried.

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.

Doesn't looking through all these therapist profiles make you want to puke? Do you wish you could just fast forward to being connected with a therapist? One that you actually like? Who knows their stuff, but isn't pompous? One that provides a relatable, friendly approach and maybe even has a sense of humor? Well, that's me! I enjoy working with clients who are ready for change. Those who know something isn't right, but don't know what to do about it. I most enjoy helping clients struggling with family of origin issues, those navigating through loving someone with a personality disorder as well as relationship issues.

You’ve lived through moments that have shaped you — stories that haven’t fully been told, emotions that haven’t found a place to land, experiences that still feel heavy in your body and heart.
Maybe you’re navigating the weight of trauma, the exhaustion of anxiety, the fog of depression, or the confusion of life transitions. Maybe old wounds are showing up in your relationships, or you’re trying to find your voice after years of being strong for everyone else. Whatever has brought you here, I meet you with care, respect, and genuine curiosity about your story.

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

You don’t have to go through this alone. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from yourself or others, it can be hard to know where to turn. Therapy can be a space where you feel truly seen, understood, and supported without judgment.
I take a nonjudgmental, empathetic approach to therapy and believe that healing begins with feeling safe and understood. Many of the people I work with come in feeling isolated in their struggles, and together we focus on building a sense of connection, belonging, and self-trust.

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.
