Love brought me to Zurich, a Swiss man to be precise, and I brought with me a wealth of knowledge and experience: two master’s degrees in psychology and public health, a diploma in psychodrama psychotherapy, and over 15 years of work with adults, children, groups, and teams. In Belgrade, I was privileged to work on extraordinary projects, shaped by the often tragic yet profoundly human stories of the people I served.

From children facing complex surgeries, I learned about fear. From parents of critically ill children, I learned about grief. From families celebrating clear blood tests after battling leukemia, I learned about joy. These experiences deepened my understanding of resilience and taught me that even in the darkest moments, people have an incredible capacity to find meaning.

If you’re searching for a psychologist, my most important advice is this: education and experience in the area you need help with are essential, but the most critical factor is the connection you feel. When you sit across from your psychologist, you should sense that this is someone who can genuinely help you, a person with whom you can build a relationship strong enough to feel safe falling apart and putting yourself back together. In the end, it is the relationship that heals.
