“Sometimes life tends to be complicated. My mission os to help you to overcome those difficult times and search for meaning.”

About me

Life can feel complicated, and I am here to guide you through difficult times. As a CBT psychotherapist, I offer practical tools to help you understand and shift unhelpful thinking. We can work together to overcome challenges and find clearer pathways forward. My approach supports those seeking to make sense of their experiences and discover deeper meaning. This helps you navigate life's complexities with greater clarity.

Approach

When life feels tangled, I focus on steady, practical steps to help you untangle thoughts and regain direction. Sessions in Bucharest or online, in English or Romanian, are collaborative and paced to your needs, combining focused conversation with brief exercises to try between meetings. We track patterns that feed anxiety or low mood, test small changes, and build skills that make daily moments more manageable. People I work with tend to find this clear, hands-on way helpful when they want to feel steadier and more in control.

Services

Therapy that goes deeper than coping. I'm a clinical psychologist working with adults who are tired of quick fixes and ready for real change. My work is grounded in CBT, which gives us clear, practical tools, and enriched by EMDR and trauma-focused therapy, which reach the experiences that tools alone can't touch. I work especially with: • Anxiety: when your mind won't switch off and worry runs the show • Borderline personality / intense emotions: when feelings hit hard and relationships feel like a storm • Burnout: when you've been strong for too long and there's nothing left in the tank • Expat life: when you've built a life abroad but still feel like you don't fully belong • Trauma: when the past keeps showing up in the present Sessions are in English or Romanian, in person in Bucharest's Old Town or online. You don't need to have it all figured out. You just need to start.
