Online Counseling & In-Office (Little Falls)

Navigating through life can sometimes be difficult and painful. Partnering with a professional can help you get through the stormy waters, manage the difficulties and the pain, and access the resources you have within to find your way. I promote a caring and nurturing environment where you are invited to explore avenues in guided and unique ways.

My own life path brought me to a place of reflection and understanding life and its meaning. Originally from Romania, I migrated to the United States encountering many more experiences in different areas in my life. These experiences made me the person I am today. I would like to give back to my community of clients to help them foster healing and promote health and happiness.

I blend knowledge, evidence-based practice techniques and years of experience to help clients establish and meet their goals. My approach is integrative and individualized to the client and their needs. I strive to bring all the “new” psychological and research-based trends in my work and continue consolidating my other “old” therapy modalities including Psychoanalytic/Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), and Person-Centered Therapy, and Rapid Resolution Therapy.

I am a pre-licensed provider. This is a step all licensed therapists go through on their path to full licensure. My supervisor at Minnesota Online Counseling is Dave Halper, MA, LMFT, License #1644.
