Get To Know Me

I graduated from the School of Medicine at the University of Zagreb, where I also completed my psychiatric training at University Hospital Zagreb. Over the years, I’ve worked across both Croatia and Ireland, including positions at Cork University Hospital and Saint Vincent's Hospital Fairview in Dublin. These roles helped me develop a strong foundation in psychiatric intensive care, general adult psychiatry, and community mental health services.

Our services

Every patient deserves care that acknowledges both the complexity of mental health and the unique person behind the diagnosis.

In addition to my clinical work, I’m actively involved in research in biological psychiatry and neuroscience, and I regularly present at international conferences. I’m a member of the Medical Council of Ireland and the College of Psychiatrists of Ireland.

Above all, I am committed to evidence-based, patient-centred care that helps people understand themselves better, work through their challenges, and improve their quality of life.
