Romanian-Speaking Therapists in Seattle, WA
Plop down on the couch, grab your favorite fidget, and let's talk. Maybe you're neurodivergent and navigating life is that much more draining. Maybe anxiety runs around breaking stuff and making everything harder. Maybe your story includes trauma, and sometimes those wounded parts run the show.
If any of these or other painful places in your heart are true, I would love to get a chance to walk alongside you and find what you're looking for together. Therapy is a safe, unconditional place where you can verbally process all the things and feel your feelings while receiving compassion, insight, and tools to take on life.

Your mind won't stop and your thoughts are on a constant loop. You lie awake replaying conversations. You worry about the little and big things. Did you lock the door before you left? Are you doing enough? No amount of checking and doing can give you reassurance. You have high expectations and worry about being viewed as a failure. It's not just "in your head", it's affecting your health and relationships. Carrying the weight of anxiety, perfectionism, OCD, depression, and burnout can feel overwhelming. Together, we can explore coping strategies that actually fit your life and help you feel steady and grounded.

While many may hope to attain a quick solution to their struggles through the work of therapy, it is my ultimate goal that the psychological treatment facilitates healing through meaningful self-discovery. As a therapist, I strive to be a witness to stories you may have never told anyone before, including yourself. Every part of your life presents its own uniqueness and complexity. I believe that the inherent safety and trust found within the therapeutic relationship are paramount as therapist and patient embark on this exploration of your past and present experiences.
