I utilize a person-centered approach designed to help you identify and leverage your strengths, acquire new coping skills & enhance communication.
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.
Work through identifying and processing thoughts, emotions, interpersonal patterns; evaluate how those patterns are/are not serving you; make intentional choices for what you want your life to look like while relieving symptoms getting in the way.

Therapy can and will look different for every individual. Therapy is hard work, and also fun and rewarding. My approach to therapy is evidence-based and tailored to your needs and goals, which may change and pivot over the course of therapy.
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.

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.
