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 collaborate with clients to identify treatment goals. I encourage open discussion to create attainable goals. Goals are developed considering triggers, symptoms, unhealthy behavior patterns as well as thought processes.

I use talk therapy to help you explore and process feelings more deeply. I provide feedback around possible blind spots and encourage an alternate way of looking at issues. This can change your perspective and assist with coping more effectively.
