Therapy isn’t just about solving problems or fixing what's broken — it’s about becoming more fully yourself. My clients often feel stuck between a sense of what they 'should' be feeling and what they are actually experiencing inside. Maybe you've read the self-help books, know all the Therapy-Toks, have the insight, and still sense something is missing or off. I blend trauma-informed, attachment-based, somatic, and parts work (IFS) inside of relational therapy to help you move from intellectual understanding to embodied healing. This is not about fixing you — it’s about helping you come home to yourself.

I believe in the power of high-quality mental health care to transform lives—and I bring this belief into every session. As a doctoral-level licensed psychotherapist, I work with individuals through a lens that honors the biological, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions of well-being. My clients gain insight into themselves, their relationships, and their behaviors while developing positive and enduring coping skills. I support my clients in overcoming adversity while building resiliency to ultimately live abundantly.

Many of my clients are high performers—driven professionals, leaders, caregivers, and creatives—who are often seen as “holding it all together” on the outside while managing deep stress, pressure, or self-doubt beneath the surface. If this resonates with you, you're not alone. Therapy with me is a space where achievement doesn't have to come at the expense of authenticity or well-being.

Clients describe our sessions as collaborative, empowering, and grounded in insight. Together, we’ll explore what’s working, what’s getting in the way, and how you can create meaningful, sustainable change. I support clients in managing burnout, improving relationships, building emotional resilience, and reconnecting with their values beyond external success.

Before founding Live Well Counseling, I led behavioral health initiatives across major healthcare systems and trained the next generation of clinicians. Today, I continue to teach and advocate for equity in mental health care—ensuring both clients and therapists have the tools to thrive in high-stakes environments.

What should you know about me? I specialize in helping adults heal from trauma using approaches like Internal Family Systems (IFS), which gently explore the different parts of ourselves shaped by past experiences. Trauma can leave us feeling stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed—but I believe healing is always possible. Whether you're carrying the weight of childhood wounds, navigating the aftermath of a toxic relationship, or simply feeling lost, I offer a grounded, compassionate space where we can begin to make sense of your story together. I’m here to support your healing with curiosity, care, and respect for the pace and path that feel right to you.

I have a particular passion for supporting people through the emotional challenges that can arise during pregnancy, postpartum, and new parenthood. These seasons of life can bring joy, but also grief, identity shifts, anxiety, and intense pressure—especially for those navigating them without the support they deserve. Whether you're feeling disconnected after giving birth, overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts, or struggling to adjust to the demands of parenting, I offer a space where your experience is validated and your mental health is prioritized. I also work closely with individuals who’ve experienced fertility struggles, pregnancy loss, or traumatic birth. My goal is to help you reconnect with your strength, find clarity amidst the uncertainty, and support your healing with care that honors your unique journey.

I’ve worked in mental health for over a decade, and every person I meet reminds me how powerful it is to feel truly seen. My practice is trauma-informed, gender-affirming, and culturally aware, with a special focus on the LGBTQIA+ community, first-generation individuals, and those recovering from high-control environments. I draw from CBT, DBT, ACT, and IFS, always tailoring care to your specific needs. No matter where you are in your journey, I’m here to walk alongside you.

Trauma can leave a lasting imprint, but healing is possible—and you don’t have to do it alone. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Addiction Counselor, I specialize in trauma recovery, addiction, anxiety, and PTSD, with a particular focus on helping first responders, healthcare professionals, and individuals in high-stress environments. I understand the toll that chronic stress and past experiences can take on both the mind and body, and I tailor my approach to meet you where you are—creating a space where healing feels safe, empowering, and within reach.

I use evidence-based practices, such as EMDR, EFT, and CBT to help individuals and couples break free from painful patterns and move toward greater clarity, emotional resilience, and lasting fulfillment. Whether you’re an individual working through trauma, anxiety, or relationship challenges, or a couple seeking to rebuild trust, improve communication, and strengthen emotional connection, we will identify core issues, heal emotional wounds, and develop practical strategies to foster meaningful, sustainable change.

The process of healing doesn't look the same for everyone. Each person’s story is unique, shaped by their history, relationships, and experiences. That’s why I take a holistic and personalized approach, ensuring that therapy is tailored to your specific needs. My goal is to help you feel more connected to yourself and others, to develop self-compassion, and to create a sense of balance in your life.

I believe that healing happens in connection—with ourselves, our past, and the people around us. Together, we’ll work toward understanding your experiences, strengthening your emotional well-being, and building the tools you need to move forward with confidence. Taking the first step toward therapy is an act of courage. If you’re ready to start your journey, I’m here to walk alongside you.

As an immigrant from Romania, I bring a deep understanding of cultural identity, adaptation, and the complex experience of belonging.
