About me
A career dedicated to serving people
Pastoral experience, the discipline of the military environment and training in psychotherapy shape a professional perspective grounded in listening, responsibility and balance.
I provided religious assistance to military and civilian personnel within the Romanian Ministry of National Defence and coordinated the work of military chaplains at institutional level.
My academic training in theology, complemented by experiential psychotherapy studies, supports an approach attentive to meaning, relationships and the individual resources of each person.
