Η κατεύθυνση της στις ψυχοθεραπευτικές προσεγγίσεις της ψυχαναλυτικής θεραπείας και της σωματικά επικεντρωμένης ψυχοθεραπείας Gestalt αντικατοπτρίζουν την δική της προσέγγιση για το ψυχικό τραύμα και το σύμπτωμα.

Τα ψυχικά τραύματα εδράζουν, κατά το μεγαλύτερο ποσοστό τους, σε ένα ασυνείδητο κομμάτι που δεν έχουμε πρόσβαση και καθορίζουν τον τρόπο που αντιλαμβανόμαστε τον εαυτό μας, τους ανθρώπους και την ζωή. Είναι σε συνεχή ατομική ψυχοθεραπεία και εποπτεία των ψυχοθεραπειών που αναλαμβάνει. Τέλος, είναι σε συνεχή ατομική ψυχοθεραπεία και εποπτεία των ψυχοθεραπειών που αναλαμβάνει.
