As a bilingual English/Croatian License Social Worker I specialize in supporting adults and adolescents through life’s emotional and psychological challenges. I believe therapy is a tool used to help guide people overcome challenge.As your therapist I will provide a safe, non-judgmental, supportive, and warm environment to foster your unique strengths. I will work with you to learn skills to manage life’s challenges while identifying past experiences that may be driving the decisions you make today. If you are an adult feeling stuck, having relationship conflicts, employment stress or grief/loss I look forward to hearing from you.
If your teenager is struggling with depression, anxiety, or identity-related challenges, I welcome the opportunity to discuss how I can help. I also work with adults experiencing issues such as relationship conflicts, career or employment stress, grief and loss, and feelings of being stuck. Together, we will build practical coping skills to help you in life.
I am trained in several evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Trauma-Focused CBT for adolescents Problem-Solving Therapy, Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Depressed Adolescents (IPT-A) Each session is thoughtfully tailored to your unique needs, drawing from both evidence-based practices and my extensive experience.
