ABOUT ME

Do the memories of the past continue to haunt you in your present life? Is your mind and body in a constant state of fight-or-flight, leaving you feeling exhausted or empty? Are you looking to heal on a deeper, cellular level instead of just putting bandaids over symptoms? If so, you have come to a safe space! 

Hello, my name is Olivera! Thank you for considering me as your guide. I was born in St. Pete, FL and have spent my whole life in the Tampa Bay Area. My love and passion for mental wellness began in high school, where I took AP Psychology and often found myself day dreaming of moving back to my hometown to start my own private practice. 

During college, I moved back to my hometown to complete my education at USF’s St. Pete campus. I spent the first several years of my career working at various inpatient treatment centers— from disordered eating to substance abuse, to a psychiatric hospital for severe psychosis and mood disorders. Unfortunately, I quickly noticed that clients were not healing to their fullest potential under traditional treatment models.  Most approaches failed to address the root cause of different “disorders,” which I later learned were often due unresolved trauma, complicated grief, brain health, hormonal imbalances, or other lifestyle factors.

To be the change I wanted to see in this world, I launched my own private practice in 2024 with the goal of making my hometown a happier and healthier place to live in. My practice combines traditional therapies with evidence-based holistic interventions to help adults heal the root cause of their symptoms. I invite you to explore my approach to mental health counseling to see if I’m the right fit for you!
