Discover Your Inner Strength & Healing
Through Creative Arts, Spirituality, and Talk Therapy
Hello, my name is Milan
Over the years, I've had the privilege of collaborating with prestigious international brands, magazines, and celebrities, helping individuals present their best selves to the world. However, my journey has evolved beyond surface appearances. By integrating my extensive experience in fashion design with the transformative power of arts psychotherapy, I've come to firmly believe that true beauty emanates from within.
My unwavering dedication lies in guiding clients towards a holistic sense of well-being, tailored to their unique needs. Utilizing talk therapy, expressive arts, and spirituality, I offer a comprehensive framework in sessions. Whether you're tackling specific issues or embarking on a journey of self-discovery, I'm here to support you every step of the way, helping you achieve your aspirations for inner and outer beauty and wellness.
I cannot sing Milan's praises enough. She has been a trusted resource, support and inspiration since our first session in 2015. She has contributed to my personal and spiritual flourishing with her openness, compassion, and ability to be fully present as I flounder in chaos. She has walked with me through some of my hardest times and I know that when I need to, I will have a safe person and practice to return to. Her professionalism and humor has always impressed me and I attribute my work now, as an expressive arts therapist greatly inspired and informed by our sessions together. Through our sessions, I can now regularly tap into inner resources that affirm: yes, I can navigate this world that once seemed so full of despair and yes! I can do it with self compassion and realism. I recommend Milan to anyone who is looking to do the brave and deep soul work of meeting ourselves, she is a safe and experienced companion for the way.

With a heart for the next generation, my goal is to help you understand the transformation power of arts and therapy.
