Who I Work With

As an intern, I had the privilege of working in a high school setting—and quickly fell in love with supporting teens as they navigate the unique challenges of adolescence. That experience solidified my passion for working with youth, and I continue to find deep meaning in helping them build confidence, resilience, and emotional insight. I also work with adults carrying the weight of unresolved trauma from their own childhood and adolescent years.

I support clients dealing with anxiety, depression, chronic illness, low self-esteem, stress, school-related issues, and difficulties with medication management. I have a unique ability to build strong, trusting relationships with individuals diagnosed with Autism and those healing from trauma. When working with minors, I collaborate closely with parents and external providers to ensure a coordinated and comprehensive plan of care.

How I Help

I create a nurturing and supportive environment where individuals feel safe to express themselves and move toward their goals. My therapeutic style is compassionate, grounded, and collaborative. I believe healing happens when people feel heard and understood, and I strive to build strong, trusting relationships with every client. Whether we’re working through trauma, managing chronic pain, or building coping skills, I empower clients to tap into their strengths and resilience.

About Me

I was born in Bosnia, and my early life was shaped by the experience of displacement — first emigrating to Germany during the war, and eventually settling in California when I was in middle school. A serious accident over a decade ago led me to pursue a master’s in psychology and a career in mental health. My personal journey deepened my empathy and fueled my commitment to helping others heal and grow.
Outside of my work, I find joy in movement and creativity — whether it’s exercising, dancing, cooking, baking, or getting lost in a good book. I also cherish time spent with my incredible circle of friends, who keep me grounded, inspired, and laughing.
