I have begun my work as a child therapist in October 2002 at Babes-Bolyai University Counselling Center, Department of Psychology, Cluj-Napoca and after several years I turned to private practice. Even if when I have graduated I intended to interract predominantly with children, when working with them I learnt that environment where they grow up in has a great influence and most of the time children’s problematic behavior is the effect of the way their parents react to them. As a consequence, I have decided to focus my attention more and more toward the parents by doing individual, group therapy with them and workshops. I believe that the best investment that a parent can do is the emotional and spiritual investment into his child: it’s an investment that lasts and produces effects for generations.

In the beginning, my practice was based on cognitive-behavioral therapy principles and then I have deepened my training in psychotherapy at Schema Therapy Institute from New York and New Jersey with Jeffrey Young si Wendy Behary, special people who bring therapy at a level of humanity and authenticity in client-therapist relationship which I have rarely seen (www.schematherapysociety.org).

My belief is that psychotherapy is a form of personal development and actually, spiritual development the people choose at a certain moment in their life. For me psychotherapy without spirituality has no sense.

Along the way my interests were aggression and anxiety problems and now my main focus is on personality disorders in children and their parents and early diagnosis and intervention in High Functioning Autism/Asperger Syndrome.

In 2016 I founded RoSST Education (www.rosst.ro), a private training center for parents, mental health professionals and other people interested in personal development, our main activities being psychotherapy, training and writing books for parents, children and professionals.
