About me
Let's get unstuck!
I am a psychological counsellor and psychotherapist in training specialized in recovery from narcissistic abuse and the psychological impact of relational manipulation. My work is grounded in clarity, compassion, and a profound understanding of human resilience.
Drawing on years of experience and advanced training in dr. Gabor Maté Compassionate Inquiry, I help high-functioning individuals navigate the complex emotional aftermath of destructive dynamics and reconnect with their authentic self.
Through my private practice and educational platforms, I bridge clinical insight with human depth—bringing together psychodynamic understanding, mindful presence, and practical guidance.
My approach is particularly suited for clients who value both emotional intelligence and rational structure, offering a therapeutic space marked by discretion, precision, and genuine empathy.
I am also the founder of 'Umjetnost Zivljenja' / Ars Vivendi, a refined therapeutic brand dedicated to inner restoration and conscious living, where I develop premium programs and retreats for individuals seeking transformation beyond survival—toward genuine peace, clarity, and integrity.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
DBT: Dialectical Behavior Therapy Recommended for those who want to learn skills to manage intense emotions and improve their relationships, especially if they feel easily overwhelmed.
Psychodynamic therapyRecommended for those looking to explore their emotions deeply and understand how past experiences shape their present life.
My therapeutic style is warm, focused, and grounded in compassion. I work with clients who are often high-functioning but emotionally exhausted from complex or toxic relational experiences.
Through an integrative approach that combines insight, emotional attunement, and practical structure, I help clients understand the deeper psychological patterns behind their pain—while gently guiding them toward more functional and self-supportive ways of relating to themselves and others.
I believe that genuine healing begins when awareness meets compassion. In our sessions, we explore what stands in the way of emotional clarity and inner freedom, uncovering how old adaptations can be transformed into conscious choices.
My role is to hold a safe, discerning space where each client can reconnect with their authentic experience, strengthen their boundaries, and restore trust in their own perception.
All sessions are held online via Zoom, allowing for deep and confidential work with clients from different locations, within an atmosphere of safety, understanding, and professional presence.
