Originally from Macedonia, Aleksandra received her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from a university in Skopje, where her passion for human behavior and emotional wellness first took shape. She went on to earn her Master’s in Counseling from Argosy University–Chicago (formerly the Illinois School of Professional Psychology), where she was trained in evidence-based interventions rooted in both developmental and clinical theory.

Early Clinical Work & Specializations

Following her graduate internship, Aleksandra began her professional career in a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) setting, working with children, adolescents, and adults facing acute emotional and behavioral challenges. In this high-acuity environment, she provided individual, group, and family therapy, along with case management and discharge planning.

She also served as Lead Therapist for the Eating Disorder Program, providing specialized support to individuals struggling with anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder.

Work with Adjudicated Youth

Aleksandra later expanded her experience by serving in a secure residential treatment facility for adjudicated youth, where she offered individual, group, and family counseling as well as crisis interventions. She was frequently called upon to participate in court hearings, interdisciplinary team meetings, and coordination with case workers and youth specialists, further deepening her clinical and collaborative skills in high-stress environments.

Outpatient Practice

Transitioning into outpatient work, Aleksandra joined Perspectives of Troy, where she provided individual and family therapy to children, teens, and adults. She also facilitated Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills groups for adolescents, helping clients build tools for emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.

• Mood and anxiety disorders
• Eating disorders and body image concerns
• Trauma recovery and PTSD
• Self-injury and emotional dysregulation
• Relational conflict and narcissistic abuse recovery

Aleksandra is deeply committed to providing a safe, respectful, and nonjudgmental environment where clients can rediscover their sense of worth and autonomy. She brings professionalism, thoughtfulness, and heartfelt compassion to every session.

Outside of her clinical work, Aleksandra enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, hiking in nature, reading, and practicing yoga. She is also passionate about studying the body-mind connection and stays current on the latest research in holistic and integrative mental health practices.

Her goal is simple yet powerful: to walk alongside others as they heal, grow, and reconnect with their most authentic selves.
