As a member of the NEOCORTEX team, she provides psychological counselling, psychotherapy and psychoeducation for children, adolescents and adults, as well as therapeutic support for couples, families and groups.

She conducts both in-person and online sessions in Macedonian and English. Her therapeutic approach is grounded in authentic contact, presence and the creation of a safe and supportive environment in which clients can develop a deeper understanding of their emotions, needs and relational patterns, while discovering new ways of coping and creating meaningful change.

In her practice, she works with anxiety, panic attacks, depressive states, stress and emotional exhaustion, psychological trauma, grief and loss, low self-esteem, shame and guilt, communication and relationship difficulties, as well as life transitions and identity-related challenges.

She has a particular professional interest in reproductive psychology and psychological support throughout IVF treatment, medically assisted reproduction using donor reproductive cells, pregnancy, childbirth, the postpartum period and motherhood. She also works with difficulties related to food and body image, addictions, persistent relational patterns, psychosomatic symptoms, and behavioural difficulties in children and adolescents.

She has participated in projects providing psychological and psychosocial support to vulnerable and marginalised groups, including sex workers, unemployed individuals and members of the LGBTQ+ community.

As a lecturer and trainer, she has delivered webinars, workshops and training programmes for children and adults on topics related to mental health, emotional intelligence, parenting, stress management and women’s mental health. She continuously advances her professional knowledge through specialised training and supervision both in North Macedonia and internationally.
