We'll start wherever you are and work together to get you to where you want to be, focusing on your own values and goals, not anyone else's. My focus as a therapist is on mental health, not mental illness.
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.
Our past experiences can so often leave scars that make us feel trapped, alone, and unworthy. Together, we will explore how to reconnect with joy, strengthen your sense of self, and learn how to be in health relationships with other.

I believe in the power of play and narrative for clients of all ages. I help clients explore the story of their lives and make mind/body connections through art, writing, and somatic movement. When trapped in our minds, we often need new input.
Figure it out. That is our job! We know when to listen, and when to probe. We will support you on your path to closure, clarity, self-awareness, self-compassion, and self-reflection. Problem solving, strategies, healing or all of the above.

From the first session, we help you get clarity about how to move forward and start feeling better. We are smart, compassionate, thoughtful/active listeners. Ellen, David and I are experienced and use several modalities (CADC, EMDR, CBT, ACT, etc)
In therapy, we'll collaborate to help you gain clarity about your current challenges. From there, we will build upon your strengths with new strategies and skills to get "unstuck" from your move forward towards lasting change & growth.

My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, solution-focused, and grounded in psychological science. This means that the therapies we select will be highly effective and perfectly suited to empower you in reaching your personal goals.
