About me
Studying psychology was not only a long-held dream, but also a deeply personal journey - one that continues to shape how I understand others and myself. I’ve always been drawn to exploring the mind and human behaviour, and I find meaning in being alongside people through their suffering and their joys.
As a young adult in Belgrade, Serbia, I had the opportunity to volunteer in a psychiatric clinic and other innovative group initiatives, where I supported people facing severe psychiatric difficulties, organised anti-stigma campaigns, and advocated for their empowerment. At the same time, I began working through my own story and learning from inspiring mentors. It was during this period that psychoanalysis entered my life and left a lifelong impact. Coming from a working-class background and growing up with financial hardship - like many others from former Yugoslavia - I remain deeply grateful for these early experiences.
After completing my studies, I worked in both hospital and private settings with a wide range of clients - individuals, couples, and groups - supporting them through various life challenges such as attachment difficulties, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, and more.
In 2016, I moved to Berlin and experienced a demanding yet transformative period of building a new life. From 2016 to 2023, I held a role at the psychology hub Stillpoint, where I actively contributed to blurring the borders between academic psychology and community-based mental health. This experience deepened my commitment to making psychological thinking more accessible and socially aware.
In 2023, I continued my training in Systemic Family Therapy. Since 2024, I’ve been working with families facing extreme life circumstances, shaped by health, social, economic, or migration-related stressors, as well as couplehood and parenting challenges, and complex divorces.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
Psychodynamic therapyRecommended for those looking to explore their emotions deeply and understand how past experiences shape their present life.
Psychotherapy Recommended for those who want to work through emotional or mental health challenges by talking with a trained psychotherapist.
Systemic ApproachRecommended for those who want to look at how different systems—like family, work, or society—affect their behavior and relationships.
I support people who are interested in being honest with themselves - those who want to understand the patterns beneath their behaviour and build a more grounded relationship with themselves and the world around them. I believe that the way we relate to others is closely connected to how we understand ourselves, and to the systems we are part of.
In my work, I aim to create an atmosphere where even difficult topics can be explored without fear or judgment. I try to find the right balance between safety and challenge - supporting each person in moving toward change that feels meaningful for them.
If you feel I might be a good match but are currently facing financial difficulties, please feel free to reach out. We can talk about a fee that is manageable for you at this point in your life.
