I am passionate about helping adolescents and young adults navigate the difficult transition of emerging adulthood. I have experience working in inpatient settings with high-risk adolescents, partial hospitalization/intensive outpatient programs, and outpatient settings. As a second-generation Croatian American, I am familiar with the direct impact multiculturalism can have on one’s mental health and overall wellbeing. Growing up in Montgomery County, I understand the unique culture of growing up in an area with high academic pressures imposed on students.

Is your behavior driven by fear or anxiety? Are past traumas or a profound sadness or anger controlling your life instead of your highest self? If it seems like your life is going down a path that feels out of sync with who you truly are, then I can help you understand how you got here and how to get back on track.

I enjoy and find it deeply meaningful to counsel adults through life's challenges. Working collaboratively, I help clients navigate life transitions, manage anxiety and depression (including perinatal anxiety and depression), and explore family of origin issues. I am a trauma-informed clinician and embrace an integrative approach to treatment, often drawing upon concepts from Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I appreciate that every client is unique and tailor my approach to meet each client's distinctive therapeutic needs.

People reach out to me for help deepening their self-awareness and overcoming and understanding their anxiety, depression, relationships, low self-esteem, low self-confidence, fear of abandonment & intimacy, writer's block, "imposter syndrome", career dissatisfaction, workaholism and other challenges. Some want to master difficulties, or patterns, which have plagued them for years. Others are confronting more recent conundrums. All seek more than a bandaid solution. Rather, they are searching for a more nuanced understanding of themselves, their relationships and how they live in the world. Their aim is a more fulfilling life.

I'm so glad you're here. Do you feel stressed, overwhelmed, and ready for change? We might be good fit if you want to understand why you feel miserable or anxious despite "doing it all". Maybe you are compassionate to everyone in your life, except YOU. Maybe you have been in talk therapy and you are feeling stuck or ready to try something different. I help my clients move beyond talk therapy toward healing recurring negative patterns in their life, anxiety, depression, anger, overwhelm, relationship issues, trouble getting new habits to stick, compulsively using external things to feel better (i.e. work, people, alcohol), and more.
