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.
Work to identify unique, individual goals. I believe individuals are experts on themselves and their unique life experience. I see my role as walking alongside you in order to uncover the opportunity for positive change.

I have a commitment to using a strength-based and empowerment approach in helping my clients meet their goals. I use techniques that assist clients in challenging and reframing negative thought patterns, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
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.
