Life is a journey full of experiences, some of those experiences can be most beautiful and rewarding and some can be very challenging and draining. During the challenging times, we may find ourselves feeling overwhelmed, tired, confused, anxious and lost. It is during these challenging times that we need to seek help, and if that is where you have found yourself, give yourself credit for seeking support and counselling.

It is through therapy that we can find our way again and make sense of the world, our life and regain the strength and courage to continue on our journey. Nothing in life is constant and as individuals, we have to learn to adjust to change and embrace it with courage and hope.

I have been working with children, youth and families for over 20 years. It has been my privilege and a great honour to help families and children create a better life. I specialize in working with children, youth and families who have experienced loss, anxiety, depression, addictions, domestic violence, self-harming behaviours, infidelity, separation and divorce.

I offer a safe, empathetic, non-judgmental, confidential and nurturing space, where you can share and explore your challenges, trauma and difficulties. Building a trusting relationship that will empower you to take control of your life by unraveling any confused thoughts, feelings and beliefs, helping you to rebuild your strength, courage, and a greater understanding of yourself, your life and your relationships.

I work collaboratively with each individual drawing on many different modalities and approaches. Each individual is unique and as such my approach will be tailored to your special needs. In general, I practice from the eclectic approach of modalities incorporating: attachment focused therapy, cognitive behavior, trauma informed practice, solution focused therapy and mindfulness.

I am fluent in English and former Yugoslavian languages.

I treasure and value the opportunity to work with people and approach all individuals I support from a place of openness, empathy, and curiosity.

I am a registered social worker, with experience in private therapy, inpatient care for adolescents, and a drop-in centre for homeless and at-risk youth. I believe strongly in the power of compassion, helping to identify strengths and goals, and working to facilitate my clients’ self-empowerment. Within sessions I mostly utilize Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and Mindfulness-based therapy. My primary focuses are trauma, depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, and self-esteem issues.

In session, I aim to prioritize the client’s comfort by providing a safe non-judgmental space to talk, cry, laugh, or vent, meeting the client where they are in their process of healing, listening with open ears, and of course literal comfort - come as you are!

When it comes to healthy practices in my own life I enjoy reading, practicing yoga, getting out in nature, exercising, baking, and travelling.

Relationships can be really hard and it’s not uncommon for you to ask yourself “how did we get here?”, “we were so in love, what happened to us?”, or to say to yourself “I should have paid attention to the warning signs earlier.” Then with children, and children with complex needs, you are too tired taking care of everyone, that there is no time and energy for you or your partner. If you feel like this was not what you thought life would be, and you want to get back the spark you once had, or to really fall in love with your partner for the first time because things were too rushed in the beginning. I can help.

I adopt Attachment and Emotional Focus approaches and strategies as the foundation in my therapeutic work. I create a safe space where you can share without being judged and have supporting conversations to help couples to better understand the underlying hurts and needs. The objective is to gain a better understanding of attachment styles and how to change unhealthy styles through reflections and explorations of deeper emotions. I provide support and guidance for couples by having challenging discussions that lead to greater insights and lasting change.

The goal in our therapeutic sessions is that you are seen, and your pain and stress are acknowledged. I work together with you to give your relationship new life so your relationships can be joyful and you can delight in yourself, your partner and your children again. You can have a better understanding of the patterns in your relationship, have better conflict resolution strategies and have better bond to create stronger intimacy that would last.

It’s a courageous journey and if you are ready to take it, I will be alongside you to give you hope, encouragement and strategies .
