As someone who grew up in unstable socio-political circumstances and as an immigrant, I have reinvented myself many times, and I can help you do the same. I am a fierce fighter for social justice and a supporter of oppressed people.

I am a bilingual (English/Serbian, Bosnian, Croatian) therapist. I offer culturally informed therapy and acknowledge individual, intergenerational, historical, racial, and social trauma. These traumas are often at the root of modern human issues.
Broad themes that I often discuss with clients include boundary work, patterns/roles in life and within relationships, and how the creative process can be included in the therapeutic work.

I have a nondirective therapeutic style. I let my clients lead what they want to explore and talk about in session. I include the creative process and art making as an important tool for self expression and explorations of emotions.
We are faced with grief, trauma, and expectations of ourselves and others on top of being born into situations we have little to no control over. The suffering can end here! Take the next step and we can work through the rest together!

I believe that we unknowingly add to the pain and stress of life through our emotions and thoughts, which lead to suffering. I ask that you allow me to take this journey to heal and rediscover a life worth living with you.
Together we will learn more about your relationship with yourself and others, and find ways to deepen those connections. We will identify your treatment goals and actively help you move towards them in and outside of therapy.

I am flexible and use a variety of approaches tailored to each individual; we are all different and that's what makes us unique. I value collaboration, authenticity, and being human with you in the therapeutic space.
Try on old patterns like clothes in a closet to see if they still fit. This is a practice space, a place of creation and brainstorming new ways of being who you want to be. Let yourself say the things that you've needed to hear yourself say.

We'll examine the stories that you tell yourself that hold you back and keep you stuck. We'll learn to manage feelings and how we judge ourselves for them. We'll shift perspective on the values that we subscribe to and develop new skills to cope.
