About me

Born in 1979, I have been working in the field of addiction in Romania since 2001, starting with harm reduction, prevention, and treatment projects. Clinical psychology and psychotherapy naturally became an extension of this work. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and Hypnosis, and I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Hypnosis, EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, and several other therapeutic approaches. I have worked for over six years in a mental health clinic and have supported more than 1,000 clients in therapy. When you work with people affected by addiction, you inevitably learn to work with a wide range of mental health issues—such as anxiety, depression, personality disorders, and complex trauma—because addiction is often a “solution” people find for pain that already exists. That’s why effective work involves treating both the addiction and the underlying issues beneath it. I’ve joined this platform to connect with clients in English and to work with people from diverse backgrounds, so I can deepen my understanding of the human experience across cultures.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Clinical psychologyRecommended for those who need help with diagnosing and treating more complex mental health issues, often involving assessments and evidence-based treatments.
EMDRRecommended for those dealing with trauma who want to process painful memories in a structured way to reduce their emotional impact.
My therapeutic style is collaborative, respectful, and grounded in both clinical training and deep human understanding. I integrate evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, and Hypnosis, depending on each client’s needs and goals. I believe that therapy is not about “fixing” someone, but about creating a safe space where healing, clarity, and growth can emerge naturally. I see symptoms—whether addiction, anxiety, depression, or emotional distress—not as isolated problems, but as signals of deeper pain or unmet needs. My role is to support clients in identifying the patterns that hold them back, understanding the emotional roots of their struggles, and developing tools for meaningful and lasting change. I work with warmth, structure, and a touch of humor when needed. I listen carefully, offer clear feedback, and help clients reconnect with their inner strengths and values. Whether we're working through trauma, emotional regulation, identity struggles, or relationship challenges, I aim to meet each person with compassion and curiosity. Above all, I trust in the therapeutic relationship as a space for transformation—and I work side by side with clients, not above or ahead of them.

Sex is vitality. Good sex has many definitions and changes with us — through age, illness, and relationships. Most people never talk about sex, especially when it goes wrong. I know how much that hurts. No shame here.
