About

My professional background spans mental healthcare settings in the Netherlands, the United States, and Serbia. My early clinical experience included internships in the US and Serbia, followed by work within the Dutch mental healthcare system.

I have worked with adults experiencing a range of psychological difficulties, including anxiety, mood-related difficulties, burnout, grief, relationship difficulties, identity-related concerns, and longer-standing emotional and interpersonal patterns. I have also worked with children experiencing developmental and psychological difficulties.

Working across different healthcare systems and with people from varied cultural, social, and professional backgrounds has shaped my interest in how our histories and environments influence the way we understand ourselves and respond to life's challenges.

I’m interested in people’s stories - how past experiences, relationships, identity, and the ways we have learned to understand ourselves can shape what we experience in the present.

I work from an evidence-based, client-centred perspective, drawing on different therapeutic approaches depending on what you bring to therapy. Rather than beginning with what needs to change, I believe it is important to first understand what you are experiencing, the patterns that may be involved, and the context in which they developed.

From there, we can explore what may be helpful - whether that means relating differently to difficult thoughts and emotions, working with recurring patterns, or developing new ways of responding to situations in your life.
