About me

I am a psychotherapist in training under supervision, specialising in psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy. Currently, I am based in Vienna, Austria, completing my psychotherapy training and working in private practice.

I was born in Croatia, where I completed part of my training by studying and working in a psychiatric setting focused on group and individual psychotherapy treatment and rehabilitation of patients with chronic depression, psychoses, and personality disorders.

The remaining part of my training takes place in Vienna, where I have worked in an outpatient clinic and private setting. My experience here involves the treatment of people with diverse and international backgrounds focusing on issues of anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma. These include the topics of relationship and family issues, migration, adjustment, and transgenerational transmission of trauma through experiences of war and domestic violence.

As a member of the Austrian Federal Association for Psychotherapy (ÖBVP), I continue my education by regularly attending further training, seminars, conferences, and supervisions.
