If you find life and relating to be hard, messy, and fraught with suffering, there is nothing weird with you; it’s our common human condition. It’s natural at times to feel overwhelmed and confused by the world, by others, and even by yourself. It can feel lonely and scary, and it can keep you from becoming who you want to be. But the good news is you don’t have to go through it alone. Therapy can be a safe space where hope can be found, understanding can be gained, skills can be learned, and growth can be experienced. Whatever your presenting challenge or diagnosis, I would be honored to offer support and share in the experience.

I'm passionate about helping people navigate relational challenges-whether as individuals, couples, or families. Our relationships play a vital role in our overall well-being. Often, the struggles we face are deeply connected to how we relate to those closest to us. It’s human to long for connection, for a sense of safety and belonging in the arms of our loved ones—be it a partner, a parent, or a close friend who feels like family. Yet, these very relationships can sometimes be the source of our deepest pain. My goal is to help you make sense of that and find healing, connection, and clarity in the relationships that matter most.

If you feel tired of being stuck, in pain, overwhelmed, or dissatisfied with how your life is going, I can help. You know that something in the way you feel, think, or behave is holding you back from living a fulfilling life. It may be the struggle to accept yourself or others; to maintain meaningful relationships; to adjust to life transitions; to recover from a traumatic event or loss; or to move on in life. Therapy is about wanting to slow down and reflect on yourself, how you want your life to look like, and how to get there. You made the brave step of asking for help and I would love to hear from you.

We’re all out here trying to “do life” the best we can with what we have. But we’re not always equipped to know what “best” is, or what we “have.” What most of us are working with are strategies and patterns that we keep repeating, even when they don’t serve us anymore. And nothing changes. Our experiences, depression, anxiety, grief (to name a few), continue to overwhelm us.

Sometimes the hardest thing is asking for help. Choosing to enter therapy is a courageous act and one of the best gifts you can give yourself. Finding the right therapist for you, someone whom you can trust, who makes you feel safe, and believes in you might feel difficult and daunting at times but is also one of the strongest predictors of successful therapy. I feel honored and grateful to each and every one of my clients who entrusted me with their stories and embarked on their healing journey with me. My goal is to meet you where you are and help you gain the necessary insight and skills to live the life you want and deserve.

Clarity is power: I specialize in and am extremely passionate about psychological and neuropsychological testing to help my clients better get to know themselves and their goals for treatment. I believe diagnosis is not just a label, but rather a road map to figuring out the best course of treatment and, ultimately, living your best life. I also conduct evaluations for presurgical clearance and neuropsychological/cognitive evaluations at assisted living, independent living, and memory care facilities.

Hi my name is Voichita Moldovan! My initial focus and priority is to support the individuals that I work with in their development of trust and comfort in the therapy process. I encourage open communication and freedom of expression because it is important that individuals participating in therapy feel safe especially when sharing personal experiences and concerns. I believe in investment of effort and perseverance as two mechanisms that are catalysts for growth and success.
