Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists in Orange Park, FL

Welcome and thank you for visiting my page. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida, an ASD-Clinical Specialist, a Certified Master Life Coach, and I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (C.C.T.P.). As a social worker, life coach, and trauma professional, I am here to help clients reach their goals of overcoming life challenges, growing in new ways, and helping develop new positive goals and ways of doing things. Additionally, I work with LGBTQ+ Clients on coming out, identity development, and gender identity issues. I provide a safe place for clients to explore the challenges facing them.

I am here to offer, empathy, support, genuineness, and psychological insight to individuals, children, adolescents, women, and families. Therapy is a place where everyone can grow. I am interested in meeting people where they are. My goal is to help you build tools which you can use during tough times. A non-judgmental and collaborative approach is the foundation of my work.

I have more than 30 years experience in the areas of child and adolescent psychotherapy and school related difficulties. I have trained and worked in different countries and I have helped families from different nationalities and cultural backgrounds. I have ample experience working with individuals, teens, young adults and families. I have worked with clients in a wide range of issues including anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, depression, trauma, anger and transition issues. I integrate CBT, psychodynamic, systemic and humanistic approaches depending on the problems and the personalities of my clients.

I am most excited to work with younger children (5-11) and adults who are working on their self-esteem, self-love, anxiety, trauma, and mindfulness skills. I am a bilingual therapist, fluent in Romanian and English, and I have clinical experience working in a residential substance abuse facility, a psychiatric hospital, a university clinic, equine-assisted therapy, and the public-school system.
