About me

I was born in the former Yugoslavia and came to the Netherlands after the war. Through my personal life story I have developed into someone who is attuned to others. I like to share my knowledge and experience. I have learned that there is resilience in every human being and I see it as a personal challenge to appeal to and mobilize this resilience. Every time again I am touched when this succeeds and someone is better able to live the life that often seemed impossible for a long time.

My experience

After studying (clinical) psychology at the University of Amsterdam, I worked at Stichting Centrum ´45 where I gained experience in treating trauma in people from different cultures. After that I worked for 12,5 years within specialized rehabilitation and reintegration, in a multidisciplinary team and obtained my training as a GZ psychologist. In have gained experience with chronic pain-, stress/burn-out– and work-related problems.

Treatment was not only individual but also in groups, because group interaction can accelerate certain learning processes. I have treated people with (unexplained) physical issues, which are oftten accompanied by anxiety, mood issues, sleep problems, burnout and (underlying) trauma symptoms.
