My work combines structured, practical tools with a deep understanding of the emotional and relational layers that shape our experience. Over time, I’ve expanded my original CBT training to include a more integrative and embodied approach. Key elements of how I work: • Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Offers clear structure, practical exercises, and goal-oriented support. • Systemic Perspective: We explore how your relationships — past and present — influence your emotions, behaviors, and self-image. • Parts Work: Many of our struggles come from inner conflicts. Working with different "parts" (like inner critics, protectors, or wounded parts) can bring clarity, healing, and integration. • Relational Focus: Our relationships are our ecosystems. Healing often begins in how we relate — to others and to ourselves. • Body Psychotherapy: Emotions are not just thoughts — they are embodied experiences. Somatic awareness helps reconnect with what words alone can't reach. Culturally Sensitive: With a Croatian-American background, I bring awareness to cultural identity, migration, and the expat experience. Whether you're navigating emotional overwhelm, relationship challenges, parenting stress, or just a feeling of being stuck — we work together to create space for change, clarity, and connection.
