About me
As a dedicated mental health counselor and life coach, I am committed to providing empathetic, compassionate, and evidence-based support to individuals navigating life's challenges. With a strong foundation in psychology and therapy techniques, I strive to create a safe and trusting therapeutic environment where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors with openness and honesty. Through collaborative goal-setting and personalized interventions, I empower clients to develop insight, resilience, and practical skills to enhance their overall well-being and achieve their therapeutic objectives.
I earned a Masters of Arts in Counseling Psychology from the McNeese State University in Lake Charles, Louisiana. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (#5653) registered with the Louisiana LPC Board of Examiners. I am also a Board Certified Counselor certified by the NBCC and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. In addition to my Louisiana license, I hold a license in the State of Texas (#78924).
I was born in the heart of Belgrade, Serbia, where I finished elementary, middle and high school. I then moved to the United States where I became a collegiate athlete in the competitive world of NCAA sports. Tennis was my game, and it sculpted me into the resilient individual I am today. Beyond the courts, I found my true calling in counseling and coaching, guiding others towards their own triumphs. In my off time, you'll often find me in the gym, pushing my limits and enjoying the endorphin rush of a rigorous workout. Physical fitness isn't just a routine for me - it's a lifestyle that fuels my passion for personal growth.
I have a certain thirst for adventure. With a passport in hand and a big curiosity for the world, I embark on journeys to explore new cultures and landscapes.
