About me

Hello! I'm Diana, clinical psychologist and psychotherapist or as I like to define myself with a touch of humor and sensitivity, a gentle alchemist of life stories. I believe every person has a story. A story which is rarely completely smooth. Sometimes it is broken, other times tangled or maybe insufficiently told or seen, but always valuable... A story that deserves to be heard, understood, and honored. I'm convinced that the quality of our relationships and our ability to recognize the patterns, depths and nuances of our own experience are among life's most powerful resources. Yet sometimes we lose our compass, and that's when we need someone to walk alongside us. How I work in therapy My journey to becoming a therapist has taught me that therapy isn't about searching for culprits or finding definitive answers to our difficulties. It's about discovering how our minds have woven particular stories around our experiences—how these narratives have taken root within us and shaped who we've become. Whatever change we seek in our lives, whether it's a sense of well-being or becoming a better version of ourselves, it is like a door that opens from within, outward toward the world and toward possibility. We have the power to change how we relate to life—to what we're experiencing now and what we've experienced before. Everything begins when we understand the story we tell ourselves again and again when things are hard, and when we consciously choose to transform it. I base my therapeutic approach on evidence-based methods and integrative practices. I'm trained in Systemic Family and Couple Psychotherapy, Schema Therapy, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. As a licensed clinical psychologist and psychotherapist, I'm a member of the Romanian Board of Psychologists. Drawing from evidence-based approaches, I see the therapeutic process as a laboratory—a safe place where we explore and test new ways of being. Together, we'll work on recognizing the automatic emotional defenses that once felt necessary, and through guided reflection and corrective experiences, gradually develop your capacity for conscious choice. This shift from reactive to proactive responding supports lasting emotional balance, profound healing, and personal growth. I deeply believe that growth is a privilege that accompanies us throughout life and that each person's mission is to never stop fulfilling their potential.. I'm curious to hear the story you tell yourself. I invite you into my therapeutic space to explore together the narratives behind how you navigate life's challenges.
