Clients I Work With
I work with high-achieving professionals navigating perfectionism, codependency, and difficulty setting boundaries—especially when balancing personal needs with demanding careers. Additionally, I have an added focus on supporting clients in advanced and public-facing roles, which also include academics and mental health professionals. My cross-cultural perspective enriches therapy, offering space to explore how culture shapes identity, relationships, and mental health. Many of my clients are managing the complex intersections of cultural expectations, professional roles, and personal values, and I help them find clarity and balance.
Approach
In addition to my clinical practice, I am a professor and active researcher. My academic work focuses on interpersonal trauma and its impact on relationships and meaning-making. This dual identity as both clinician and scholar informs my approach: deeply reflective, honest, direct, integrative, and grounded in both science and lived experience.
Beliefs & Lived Experience
I was a psychologist in Romania for 15 years before moving to the States to pursue my PhD is Counselor Education and Practice (CACREP accredited). I am a certified Adlerian Psychotherapist (Institute for Adlerian Psychology #1308) and work from a place of honesty. I believe life is difficult and beautiful.
More About My Practice
I work exclusively via Telehealth with adult clients residing in MI, TX, and GA. I believe that meaningful change begins with a strong therapeutic relationship—one that offers both safety and challenges patterns by providing direct and honest feedback. I complete a three session intake to ensure you feel comfortable working with me and my style, and I can help you. I will provide you with a treatment plan and an overview of our work together. I want you to know, this work is hard - growth is hard, and I am here to help you navigate it. If you're ready to invest in yourself and your well-being, I invite you to reach out.
