ABOUT ME

Empowering Minds, Transforming Lives.

During our time together, we will be talking exclusively about you, but if you are curious about who I am, here’s a little about me:

I’m a Swedish/Bosnian globe-trotter who has called seven countries home, an enthusiastic dancer, and a fitness lover. My travels have enriched my understanding of diverse cultures and perspectives, fueling my passion for personal growth and well-being. I have a deep appreciation for all things related to health, including good nutrition, physical exercise and mental well-being. Nature also plays a vital role in my life, inspiring me to embrace holistic wellness. These interests shape my approach to both life and therapy. While we cannot always control the circumstances we encounter, we do possess the power to create meaningful change. Our responses to situations, along with the awareness we cultivate, can profoundly shape our experiences. Life encompasses both beauty and pain, and by developing emotional resilience, we can fully embrace our humanity while harnessing the power to influence our life’s outcomes. This perspective teaches us to view obstacles as opportunities for growth. With each choice we make, we pave the way towards a more fulfilling and purposeful existence.

Therapy, mental health

Channeling professional experience for your well-being

With a strong background in mental health support, I have worked extensively in various settings, including child and adolescent psychiatry. Among my previous work experience I’ve provided intensive therapy for children and adolescents, facilitating both individual and group sessions. I also led family seminars to educate parents on mental health issues, improving relationships and conducted neuropsychiatric along with suicide risk assessments.

I’ve worked across multiple psychiatric units, providing support to individuals with psychological disabilities to foster meaningful daily living through therapeutic treatment and motivational therapy. I’ve also worked in hospitals offering inpatient and outpatient therapy and in social psychiatry where the patients are in direct contact with the psychiatry but the support occurs in their home aiming to foster independence, stability, and emotional well-being. 

In recent years, I’ve transitioned to my own practice, where I provide compassionate care for a wide range of diagnoses and life challenges. I work with clients individually, families and couples. My goal is to empower people on their journey to healing, equipping them with the tools they need to navigate life’s complexities and thrive.

I highly recommend Berina when it comes to mental health help. I was lucky enough to have sessions with her and it helped me realize so much and helped me grow as a person. I can now try live a life and be a person that I was before my issues became paralysing my normal life. Thank you
Balled my eyes out as I wrote this.. thank you. Working with Berina is like knowing that the biggest storm of your life is coming… but instead of running away from the storm, running towards the darkness with her by your side, guiding you through it. It was a scary journey going through therapy with her but with her compassion and expertise, I was able to go through the storm and was reborn again. I feel I have finally made it out and into the sunshine. Berina leads you through the storm, but also lets you guide yourself. She lets you drive the sessions when your heart yearns for it and when you feel lost she guides you to the light again with not only logic but her kindness and warmth. She teaches you how to become your own guide in life. She lets you choose your own path, and rebuild your confidence within yourself. Thank you to Berina for being an angel in my life. Berina puts in just as much work as the patient themselves and always held me accountable. You can rely on her to be on time and bring forth her expertise and knowledge into the present situation with compassion and grace. I know I can rely on her again if I ever lose my way. Sometimes life can be too hard… And we all need someone like Berina to remind us of who we really are. Thank you for the journey of a lifetime.
Berina absolutely changed my life… for so long I was living in fight or flight mode as if on autopilot. She brought me back to life, connecting me with my inner child and body once again. I cannot stress enough how amazing (and tough) therapy has been with Berina. She knows when to give you space to feel out your emotions but also knows when to push you to dig deeper. She’ll ask you all the right questions that allow you to come to your own realizations. I think of her as a guiding hand that might make me jump off a cliff (when I’m ready) into a crazy wild adventure but also my security blanket that keeps me safe and brings me comfort without judgement. Not only is she truly passionate & dedicated to her craft, the world will be so much better because of it one person at a time. I’m beyond blessed to have gotten the chance to work with her and cannot brag about my therapist enough to all my friends and family. Trust the process and do the hard work/you’ll wish you did it sooner. It’ll make you cry, smile, laugh, but in the end you’ll be able to self soothe and carry these lessons with you for life. A million thank yous Berina.
I was referred to Berina through a coworker who said she changed her life, and boy was she right. I've worked with other therapists and Berina's therapy methods have pushed me to reflect and act in a way that actually incites changes and targets the goals I've had for years but needed support from. She's like a coach, friend, and therapist all in one, and I'm continuously impressed by how prepared she comes to each session and the work she does after the session to craft home assignments that are most suited to what she thinks will truly benefit me. Any time my friends are struggling with their growth or looking for support, I refer them, and at this point I've referred 10+ friends and they've referred their friends and family members as well because of how incredible her work is. Truly the greatest gift you could give yourself would be working on and expanding yourself with someone like Berina in your corner. I feel like I'm coming home to my authentic self with her support <3
After months of deliberation of whether or not I wanted to get therapy after a bad break up, Berina was referred to me by a friend of mine. From the start, Berina was very patient and let me take my time in explaining the situation, how I felt, how I reacted and more. She always made me feel comfortable, welcome, safe and above all else, heard. Berina helps you work through your mental battles and helps you see other ways of looking at the situation. She gives you homework to help reflect on your beliefs, what you want and where you're trying to go. She helps you understand why you might have reacted one way or what would be a healthier response to some hard habits to break. Thank you, Berina, for helping me during arguably the toughest mental time in my life, I would not be where I am today without all of your contined love and support. If you are looking for the very best, Berina is the one for you!
Berina has helped me to blossom by helping me to understand myself more deeply. I’m able to self reflect more productively, identifying triggers and behaviors while actively working to minimize poor or unhealthy behavior. I’m a more balanced person thanks to Berina’s guidance. Berina is patient, kind, understanding, open minded and above all a deep listener. Engaging in therapy is effortful, but Berina makes the experience a little bit easier with her ability to soothe what can be a painful and difficult experience.
In Berina, we have met an incredibly warm and empathetic person with great competence and deep commitment. She has created trust and security from the first meeting and has been an incredibly important person for both our daughter and us parents. An anchor and an important piece of the puzzle for the whole family's well-being that guided us through difficult periods.
