Education and Professional Background
I completed my bachelor’s degree in psychology at Babeș–Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca, followed by a master’s degree in clinical psychology, counseling, and psychotherapy, with a specialization in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) at the same university. Later, I completed the foundational training in classic Morenean psychodrama, and I am currently continuing advanced-level training.
Experience
I have volunteered in pediatric and adult psychiatric departments, schools, and nursing homes. These experiences helped me understand the complexity of the human being at different life stages and allowed me to approach the emotional needs of those I work with—whether children, adolescents, adults, or seniors—with empathy and openness.
How I Work
I believe in therapy based on trust, empathy, and unconditional acceptance. I create a safe, judgment-free space where you can be exactly who you are—without masks or external pressures. I combine scientifically validated methods with intuition and creativity, tailoring each intervention to the unique needs of the person in front of me.
I am spontaneous, flexible, and open, and my role is not to tell you what to do, but to support you in your process of exploration, understanding, and transformation.
