How a conversation can help
How a psychologist can help
Conversations with a psychologist are transformative and can help improve your quality of life in many ways. A psychologist supports you in getting to know yourself better, identifying the sources of your discomfort, and discovering the connection between your past and present. Through therapy, you will learn to develop effective strategies to overcome challenges, clarify your personal values, and live an authentic life. Furthermore, therapy can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, improving emotional management and interpersonal relationships.
How a vocational or educational counselor can help
Conversations with a vocational or educational counselor are essential for anyone looking to make a career change or for any teenager undecided about their future career and education. A vocational counselor helps you identify your interests and skills, offering clear guidance on careers that would suit you best. If you are planning to study abroad, an educational counselor will clarify the necessary steps and assist you in creating an impressive portfolio for university applications.

A session lasts between 45 and 60 minutes and is generally adapted based on individual needs.
How long will I attend therapy?
There is no fixed duration. We will determine how often and for how long we meet based on your needs. In general, therapy sessions range from twice a week to once every two weeks. Results typically begin to show after 2 to 4 months.
How long does vocational counseling take?
Vocational counseling is brief and generally requires 4 to 8 sessions.

How much does a session cost?
The cost of a session ranges between 150 and 250 RON depending on the service (therapy, vocational counseling, psychological assessment, etc.).
What are your working hours?
I generally work Monday through Friday between 10:00 and 20:00. If you are unable to attend sessions during this time frame, we can discuss possible accommodations.
Can we meet online?
Yes, I currently work exclusively online, as there are studies (some of which I have contributed to) that show the effectiveness of online therapy. If you prefer to meet in person, I can accommodate that preference.
What language can we speak?
I currently offer services in Romanian and English, as these are the languages I am most proficient in. I am working to soon offer sessions in Spanish, French, and sign language.
