Chevy Chase, MD 20815
I am passionate about helping adolescents and young adults navigate the difficult transition of emerging adulthood. I have experience working in inpatient settings with high-risk adolescents, partial hospitalization/intensive outpatient programs, and outpatient settings. As a second-generation Croatian American, I am familiar with the direct impact multiculturalism can have on one’s mental health and overall wellbeing. Growing up in Montgomery County, I understand the unique culture of growing up in an area with high academic pressures imposed on students.

I enjoy working with people. I work well with all age groups: adults, young adults, the elderly, children, adolescents and families. I am trained to adapt myself to a person's individual needs, developmental level, and pace. I consider myself an eclectic clinician, predominantly practicing Rogerian (person-centered approach incorporating humor and accurate empathy). I collaborate well with other treating professionals to provide the suitable support for a person under my care. If you are looking for a dedicated professional who will meet your or your child's needs by applying evidence-based treatment approaches, look no further!

Motivational Interviewing Therapists
How does motivational interviewing work?
Motivational interviewing aims to uncover a person’s internal motivation to change their life. Toward this end, the therapist listens, empathizes, and collaborates with the client based on their perspective; the therapist doesn’t adhere to a predetermined plan for change or impose their viewpoint on the client. Discovering an individual’s most important reasons for change, and guiding them to achieve those changes, can empower people to shift from ambivalence to action.
Is motivational interviewing evidence-based?
Yes, research shows that motivational interviewing can help treat alcohol and substance use — and in different ways such as reducing drinking, reducing resistance, and increasing the likelihood of staying in treatment. Motivational interviewing has also been shown to help people lose weight, adhere to medication regimens, improve diet for those with Type II diabetes, and improve healthy behaviors in children.
How long does motivational interviewing last?
Motivational interviewing is a short-term therapy that can last just one or two sessions. In some cases, motivational interviewing may be used in conjunction with longer-term therapies, but for most people, motivational interviewing is a brief intervention that aims to help patients understand their personal, specific, and internal reasons for changing their life.
What differentiates motivational interviewing from person-centered therapy?
In person-centered therapy, the individual is in the driver’s seat of the treatment process, creating space for them to trust their instincts and arrive at their own solutions. The two approaches are similar because motivational interviewing is also client-centered; however, person-centered therapy is more open-ended while motivational interviewing is somewhat more structured; the goal is to change, and the therapist helps the client specifically discover their internal motivations to modify their behavior.
