I am fluent in my native Romanian. English level C1 and Russian A2.
I work mostly with LGBTQ and non-monogamous consensual people of all ages from Romania and Republic of Moldova.

I work with adults (18+) for individual, relationship (including polyamorous partners), and family counseling services. Also offered are assessments for autism, career exploration and support, and letters for gender affirming care. Specialties include chronic illness; suicide loss; and the intersection of gender, neuro, and disability diversity.
My clients describe me as making them feel “normal” and that they wish we had met as friends. Together, we will focus on what is important to you. I became a therapist because I wanted to contribute to changing the system by decolonizing it from the inside. I started my own journey as a consumer of mental health services.
All of my services are provided via telehealth.

Are you nervous about the process of couples or individual therapy? Have you heard that therapy is hard or painful? Maybe it makes you uncomfortable to let a stranger into your world because you fear you will be judged or branded as the person who has caused all of the problems in the relationship.
Let me assure you that I am a genuine person, and I want our time together to feel like you are having a conversation with a trusted confidant. My job is to make you feel comfortable, supported and safe so we can figure out together how to make your relationship better. I have no agenda or desire to figure who is wrong in the relationship. Blame doesn’t create good outcomes, so we won’t even go there.
My style of therapy is very much like my personality: down to earth, humble, funny, slightly sarcastic, direct, and blunt in a loving way. I have a sense of humor about myself, and I encourage my clients to adopt the same attitude. I hope you come away with the feeling I am really invested in you. Telling me your thoughts and feeling won’t scare me, surprise me or make me judge you.
My office is a place to find support, empathy, and outside-of-the-box ways of thinking about problems. I have extensive experience with couples who are working through addiction recovery, want pre-marital counseling, and/or are LGBTQIA identified. I also love working with couples and individuals who struggle with being people pleasers and find it difficult to ask for their needs in relationships.
I am incredibly enthusiastic and tend to be an overachiever working with clients who are motivated and open to change. I’ve invested in the highest level of training because I truly want your relationship to be a success. I have some great tools I can share with you to get your conversations moving in a new direction.
Gottman level 3 trained, domestic violence trainer, substance abuse, addictions, and trauma. (CV on website if needed). Works with LBGTQIA, poly-affirming, couples and individuals.

I am passionate about working with the LGBTQ+ community and folks with alternative relationship styles (polyamorous, open, lifestyle, BSDM, kink, etc.). My aim is to create a warm, non-judgmental space to help you to grow into the best version of yourself. I rely on evidence-based practices such to help people with a variety of mental health, addiction, and relationship struggles. It is important to me to offer quality care to people of all genders, sexual orientations, and racial/ethnic/cultural identities.
In session, we identify patterns that are no longer useful and learn healthier strategies for thriving with the hand we’ve been dealt. I trust that you are the expert on your own life and already have the capacity to get through your struggles. My job is to give you the tools you need to achieve your goals.
Feel free to call me and ask questions. If we find that you’re seeking help outside of my expertise, I’d be happy to connect you with someone else in my network who can help.

I usually work from a mindfulness-based cognitive-behavioral perspective. For anyone that hasn’t heard of this, these are terms that basically mean – we will examine how your thinking affects your emotions and behaviors. By becoming aware of unhealthy thought patterns, we can learn to think differently; which will soften our emotions and subsequently prevent self-defeating behaviors.
Beyond examining your thoughts, emotions and behaviors, we will look at our relationship, which I view as an important component of healing. Being aware of our dynamic will provide information about the ways you interact in relationships with others; as well as be a vehicle for having healing experiences of unconditional love.
To do this, I think it’s important to show that I am human too. I am not perfect; I also struggle. And to show this, I prefer not to be a “blank slate,” but to share myself and who I am (if you want to know).
I often work in a more direct manner, giving you concrete tools that you can use to help yourself; as well as skills to help you manage emotions or change habits. Of course, all of this will depend upon you! Each treatment will be a collaborative process, depending on what works best for you.
While I work with all mental health issues (anxiety, depression, anger-management, etc.), I do so through a trauma-informed lens, as that has been my main area of focus and training, both here and abroad (I trained at a refugee center in East Africa). I also specialize in issues of identity, gender and sexuality, self-acceptance and body image.
I have specific expertise in working with stigmatized groups, like LGBTQ+, HIV+, non-binary and gender-creative folx, sex workers, poly, kink, and other people from diverse sexual and gender experiences; as well as refugees and immigrants; and people living with complex trauma.
I also specialize in relationship counseling, especially with polyamorous folx (polycules, triads/throuples).
