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.
I often work to help clients change their relationship with their emotions from one of avoidance to acceptance. Using an attachment lens, I see value in attending to emotional injuries while also attending to the influence of early experiences.

I strive to be culturally responsive in my work, and place a great emphasis on developing a strong, authentic connection with my clients. I highly value collaboration and believe treatment should ultimately be adapted for each unique individual.
We will uncover knowledge & skills you have acquired from your lived experience (strengths) & apply them in achieving your goals. My approach is a mix of narrative therapy, mindfulness, somatic practices, polyvagal theory-based therapy, etc.

I guide clients on working with their autonomic nervous system, which is the base of our self-healing mechanism, rather than going against it. We would do embodying & mindfulness practices as well as talk therapy to bring about the life you hope for.
We will explore the narratives that you hold about yourself and life. We will create a shared space of safety and will work to connect authentically to emotions. We will reflect on how life's experiences and systems impact understanding and healing.

I use games and storytelling to help build understanding, confidence, and connection. I offer culturally-humble care, providing individual therapy specialized in trauma work, and in therapeutically-applied role-playing game group therapy.
My practice is primarily working with adults who experience anxiety, depression and challenges encountered in relationships. I am experienced working with clients who encounter challenges related to substance use in relationships and career.

My approach is to engage clients by first getting to know them and their needs. I practice by building a strong empathic connection and a safe space for you to explore, increase self-awareness and implement behavioral changes.
