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.
My belief is that a client can successfully understand, navigate, and overcome life challenges and transform them into opportunities to fully embrace the experience of optimal living with the correct tools.

My approach is eclectic, utilizing numerous evidence based strategies along with a firm application of the creative process necessary to navigate the change process. My clients find my approach energizing, enjoyable and informative.
Clients should expect growth through their own work, and the ability to address sometimes difficult situations and material in order to advance from the good work done through therapeutic gains. Be willing to be uncomfortable to create what you want.

I use a direct, and affirming approach in order to address forward thinking and support clients in working toward meeting their goals. While it is necessary and significant to address the past, it is also essential to be able to move into the future.
bring our unique skills and talents to therapy: you are the expert on you, and I have expertise on helping people navigate life effectively. I believe most humans yearn for connection and to be truly known and accepted for who they are.

I am an active therapist, meaning that I will ask questions and point out patterns to help you get to the root of what really brought you into therapy. My aim is not to tell you what to do, but rather to help you listen to your own inner wisdom.
Review your experiences in life and therapy and identify what is most important to you. We can create a structured approach to recovering from trauma or enhance coping skills and setting healthy boundaries.

Person-Centered, meaning that I want to meet my clients where they need me. I provide empathy, validation, and unconditional positive regard. I support individuals to focus on the solutions in life instead of the problems.
