About Me

I have extensive experience delivering therapy and assessments in both public sector and private practice settings, as well as providing forensic services, including court-appointed therapy. My expertise also includes conducting psychological assessments in legal contexts, and I have provided expert testimony in court proceedings.

I have worked in a variety of settings during my career and training, including hospitals, correctional institutions, community mental health agencies, schools, child and youth services, and private practice.

Furthermore, I have significant experience addressing the challenges often encountered by individuals from European and Eastern European backgrounds, and I offer therapy services in both English and Romanian.

My approach is personalized and client-centered, prioritizing empathy, active listening, and creating a safe, non-judgmental space. I maintain clear communication and offer regular feedback to support clients' progress.
