Hey all, sorry I have been scarce around here lately. Life has just been keeping me so busy. I have so much homework to do and I have to give a presentation this weekend. I will be happy when it is over so I can stop worrying about it. I had a terrible week this past week. This past Thursday I had a really bad day and had some suicidal thoughts etc. My sister called and I tried to confide in her and tell her my feelings like therapists are always saying I should do, social support and all that jazz. So I confide in her (and I should have known better because she has never been able to keep her big mouth shut) and she goes and tells my mother and my other sister. So my mom calls me all worried and wanting to talk. It really wasn't that big of a deal. My sister is a big drama queen and made it out to be a bigger deal than it was. I know because my little sister thought I actually tried to commit suicide and I told her no, that I just had thoughts about it. I was mad at my older sister for telling everyone and so now my little sister is mad at me for being mad because in her words "sorry that your family cares about you" etc. Yeah, I can tell from her sarcastic comments that she cares soooo much. Anyway, it has all been blown out of proportion and I hate drama. I called my sister and chewed her out and told her I didn't want to talk to her for a while and that I will never confide in her again because she broke my trust. I think I am more angry at her right now than I have ever been at anyone. I don't usually really get angry at people, but I tell you….I am seriously pissed off at her right now. Okay, there wasn't much point to all that, just giving you all an update and venting 🙂 I hope everyone else is doing well, take care of yourselves.

Seeking an alternative to traditional therapy?
That’s why I’m here. My tools range from innovative new mind-body modalities (e.g., Energy Psychology) to the most ancient spiritual/energetic modality (shamanic healing). These tools enable me to help clients address most of the problems that licensed mental health professionals do – plus some they can’t. And usually do it more efficiently.
This is the main reason I almost always have one or more licensed therapists as clients. See the testimonials on my website.

I value doing deep, attachment-based work that gets at the root of your struggles. Whether I am working with individuals, couples, or families, my goal is to help people feel less burdened by negativity and more connected with themselves and their loved ones. I am trained in Internal Family Systems, a way of working with the brain and body to let go of buried pain and tap into inner wisdom and strength. Lets explore ways to increase your confidence, integrate past experiences, and release beliefs and patterns that no longer serve you.

I am a certified and ICF-credentialed coach, Kellogg Executive Scholar in leadership, scientist, and Chopra Center certified instructor in Primordial Sound Meditation. And, I don’t quite fit the mold.
I see invisible things. As an experimental materials scientist, I studied delicate nanometer structures using high-resolution electron beams. Often, that meant balancing power and sensitivity while patiently retaining focus for an extensive period to notice the subtle unfolding of something new - before it turned visible to anyone else.
As a coach, I bring the same optimism, joy, and discipline of discovery when we shine the light on invisible things that a client is looking to bring into focus in a coaching session. I enjoy witnessing my clients’ wonder and awe as they encounter new elements of self for the first time.
I listen to the sixth sense. I have cultivated systems thinking in my roles as an engineer and business leader, and I pay close attention to patterns, trends, and interdependencies. I found synchronicity and a sense of timing to hold the most significant power among all variables.
In coaching, we directly experience the significance and power of moments big and small as we expand our wisdom to include strategic intuition and a sense of timing. Not all moments may hold equal leverage, but each one is indispensable as they combine to form a unique symphony of our lives.
I trust the process and the resourcefulness of our creativity. Growing up in the former Yugoslavia during the civil war and disintegration of the country, I directly witnessed the complexity, strain, and tremendous resilience of the human spirit. Through those experiences, I gained a humbling appreciation for the regenerative powers of hope, curiosity, and love amid uncertainty and sustained collective trauma.
In my coaching sessions, I aspire to provide unconditional positive regard, radical acceptance, and full presence for my clients who navigate the deep and cloudy waters of personal transformation.

I appreciate that it can be challenging to find a therapist. I encourage you to shop around, read profiles, visit websites, and have initial sessions with a couple of providers to find someone who you can really talk to and be open with. We all have different styles and vibes and ways of talking and that's a good thing, hopefully we're all well trained as well but I encourage you to inquire if our training and credentials are confusing or not obvious.
In therapy I will be someone who challenges you. I might interrupt you at times if your thinking seems off. I will encourage you to feel and exercise and be honest with yourself and the people you love. Therapy will be challenging. Hopefully you will be thoughtful about the process and interested in making changes. I'm here to help you become the person who you want to be and love the person who you are.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Substance Abuse Counselor and Certified as a Clinical Trauma Professional. My counseling approach is personalized to meet your specific needs.
