About me

I was born in 1982 in Serbia and have lived in Berlin since 2009. I am in a committed relationship and a proud parent of two children.

As a psychotherapist, I am deeply passionate about understanding the complexities of the human mind, emotions, and the intricacies of the human experience.

With a foundation in empathetic listening, a non-judgmental approach, and evidence-based practices, I aim to create a safe, supportive space where individuals can freely explore their thoughts, feelings, and life experiences. My goal is to help clients gain insight into their behaviors, develop effective coping strategies, and ultimately make meaningful, positive changes in their lives.

Friedelstraße 28, 12047 Berlin, Germany

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioural therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Family therapyRecommended for families who want to resolve conflicts, improve communication, and understand each other better within the family dynamic.
Systemic therapyRecommended for those who want to understand how their relationships and environments influence their behavior and emotions, particularly within family or organizational systems.

My approach is integrative. That means that I select the techniques from different therapeutic orientations best suited to a client’s particular problem. By tailoring the therapy to the individual, I search for methods that can produce the most significant effects. I hold certificates in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (Albert Ellis Institute in New York) and Transactional Analysis. I also draw on Systemic and Existential Psychotherapy.
