About Aleksandra
Aleksandra is a Registered Provisional Psychologist who helps adults, teens, and families in Edmonton navigate anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges. Her approach is grounded in authenticity, compassion, and creating a judgment-free space where clients feel truly seen and supported.
Born in the former Yugoslavia, Aleksandra’s journey as a refugee—spending years in Germany before immigrating to Canada—deeply shaped her understanding of uncertainty, change, and loss. These experiences, combined with years of working in high-stress environments, taught her how profoundly people can heal when met with compassion and understanding.
Inspired by those who showed calm and empathy in difficult moments, Aleksandra became a therapist to create that same sense of safety for others. Since 2019, she has been helping clients rebuild trust in themselves, find stability, and move toward healing through evidence-based strategies like CBT, DBT, and EMDR.
Therapeutic Approach
Aleksandra provides a collaborative, non-judgmental environment where clients can explore challenges, discover strengths, and build resilience. She tailors her approach to each individual, drawing on evidence-based methods while honoring each person’s unique experiences and goals.
Aleksandra’s work is guided by the belief that judgment or blaming is not the point—understanding is. She creates space for clients to process their experiences, work through obstacles, and move toward healing at their own pace.
Philosophy & Values
Aleksandra believes healing happens when people feel safe, understood, and supported. Her work is rooted in compassion, authenticity, and respect for each person’s unique journey. She views therapy as a collaborative process where clients are empowered to reconnect with their strengths, build resilience, and create meaningful change.
Healing is about creating space for growth, understanding, and self-compassion. It’s not about erasing pain, but learning to move through it with awareness and resilience. When clients feel truly seen and heard, they can begin to rebuild trust in themselves and move toward the life they want.
Aleksandra is passionate about creating safety and connection in the therapeutic relationship. She is deeply moved by witnessing clients rediscover their strength, rebuild their sense of self, and move toward healing. Her own experiences of overcoming adversity fuel her commitment to walking alongside others through their most challenging moments.

Beyond therapy
Outside of her work, Aleksandra values connection, reflection, and balance. She finds grounding in nature, quiet moments of rest, and meaningful time with loved ones. These practices help her bring presence, warmth, and renewed energy to her work with clients.
What to expect
In the first session, clients can expect a welcoming space to share what brought them to therapy. Aleksandra will explore their goals, discuss what they hope to gain from counseling, and begin building trust and safety. She explains how she works, answers questions, and gives clients space to explore what approach feels most helpful for them.
Aleksandra aims to create a safe space for growth and healing where clients feel heard, supported, and understood. Her goal is for clients to feel validated, empowered, and in control while building confidence in themselves and finding motivation to make meaningful changes.
