I have spent most of my life relocating therefore I have personally witnessed the many challenges related to life of an expat. I have lived in the United States, Serbia, Vienna, and Italy. I have also went to school or held jobs in those countries, giving me insight into their culture and way of life. This set of skill equips me for working with people who have emigrated or are exploring the idea.
My therapeutic approach combines systemic family therapy and psychosexology. By emphasizing the intricate dynamics within family systems, I help clients understand how relationships impact their overall well-being, including aspects of sexual health and intimacy.
I integrate solution-focused techniques to empower clients to identify their strengths and resources.
