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.
We will discuss everything and anything that you feel comfortable bringing into our session. The focus will be on past behaviors and patterns that have kept you from reaching happiness and satisfaction in your life. Together we will work on tools.

I'm supportive and non-judgmental. I like to be straightforward in a way that will foster growth and healthy ways of being in the world. Therapy is about shifting those thoughts and behaviors that have kept you from being healthier.
Together we will explore how your emotions, relationships, past trauma or even addiction and how it affects everyday life. We will practice coping skills like grounding techniques, relaxation, exposure therapy, healthy communication and more.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify any negative thinking patterns and help to challenge those thoughts. We will work to identify healthy coping skills to manage what ever you are faced with.
Create a path for new ways of being in your life and solving issues that have felt stuck. Equally important is learning to have joy and success in life, learning how to access love and care while deepening in your understanding of yourself.

Meditation and somatic work help you to focus and retrain past thinking and traumas that you react to without knowing it. We go beyond understanding to actual retraining the bodies response to triggers. The mind and body can finally relax.
I focus on emotion identification. Learning to name what you feel is the first step in learning how to cope with emotions. This is how you learn to move with and through emotions rather than fight against them.

I use a person centered approach with a focus on strength identification and development of coping skills. Feeling heard, connected, and motivated leads to personal growth.
