I respect the path.
Do not be afraid of confusion, hesitancy, uncertainty. Transformation is a process that needs patience and grace.
I work through connection.
To the body. To emotions. To relationships. Change that is not felt in the body does not last.
I help people see differently.
The world is full of resources that hide in plain sight. All you need is a shift of perspective.
I do not promise transformation or emotional catharsis.
I do not provide advice, performance or pressure
What I offer is building a capacity for you or /and for your kids:

And what about parents?
An opportunity for their teenager to develop greater independence, emotional stability, and confidence in relationships. Not necessarily to become more obedient, but to better understand themselves, make decisions, and ask for support when they need it.
What kinds of problems I help to solve
The issues people bring are rarely simple or singular. These are not problems of willpower.
They are problems of structure, context, and perception. And sometimes linguistic bug (if you are talking to your kiddos from the depth of despair...)
Most often they are:
They are problems of structure, context, and perception. And sometimes linguistic bug (if you are talking to your kiddos from the depth of despair...)
Most often they are:
- Fatigue from roles that no longer fitYou’ve outgrown the roles that once worked. What used to feel stable now feels limiting, heavy, or quietly false.
This kind of transition requires precision. With more than ten years of leading psychodrama groups and deep transformational work, I support people in redesigning their place in life without impulsive decisions or unnecessary разрушение.
My clients are often experienced professionals who sense that the next step cannot be solved on the surface level. - Difficulty moving from insight to lived changeYou’ve read, reflected, maybe worked with therapists. Yet in real situations, especially with children or under pressure, old patterns still take over.
This is where most approaches stop. My work begins here.
Combining different approaches to psyche and experience working with high-level professionals across countries, we translate insight into something operational. Perception shifts, language becomes precise, and behavior follows. - Internal contradictions between intellect, body, and emotionYou think clearly, but your body reacts differently. Emotions pull you in another direction.
These are not weaknesses. They are unintegrated systems. Especially if you a parent it overwhelms you.
With a background in child and adult psychodrama and body-based work, I help reorganise these inner systems so thinking, body, and emotion begin to move together. - Redesigning life or work without self-betrayalYou feel the need for change, but not at the cost of losing yourself.
I bring over ten years of running a family center focused on children’s emotional intelligence and creativity, along with a strong academic foundation and ongoing research approach.
I am one of the few practitioners in Serbia working with sandplay therapy, a depth-oriented method rooted in analytical psychology inspired by Carl Jung.
We can work through dialogue or through deeper symbolic processes when words are not enough. The format follows what truly works for you.
