Great to meet you!

I specialize in working with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, trauma and medical trauma, ADHD, burnout, and work-life balance challenges. I work with people who may feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or unsure of how to move forward.

As a first-generation Albanian-American therapist with family roots in North Macedonia, I bring a culturally informed, compassionate, and down-to-earth approach to therapy. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel understood, respected, and comfortable being yourself.

My personal experience as a survivor of Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) has also given me a deeper understanding of the emotional and physical challenges that can accompany chronic illness, autoimmune disorders, and complex medical conditions. This experience informs my approach while allowing me to meet clients with empathy, understanding, and genuine compassion for what they may be going through.

My approach to therapy

Many of the people I work with are looking for more than just symptom relief—they want to feel calm, focused, and more in control of their lives. Together, we work toward helping you feel more grounded, clear-minded, and confident in navigating everyday challenges. My goal is to help you reconnect with what matters most and build a life that feels meaningful, fulfilling, and truly worth living.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect our first session to focus on getting to know them as a whole person—not simply the challenges that brought them to therapy. I take time to understand what they are currently experiencing, their personal and family history, previous experiences with therapy, and what they hope to gain from the therapeutic process.

I also believe it is important to understand who my clients are beyond their stressors. I enjoy learning about their interests, hobbies, self-care practices, favorite shows or movies, and the things that bring them joy and make them feel most like themselves.

My goal is to create a comfortable, supportive, and judgment-free environment where clients feel genuinely heard and understood. Therapy should be a space where you can show up as your authentic self, feel safe exploring what you are going through, and work together toward meaningful change.
