Έχει εργαστεί σε νοσοκομειακά και κοινοτικά πλαίσια ψυχικής υγείας, καθώς και σε δομές που αφορούν τις νευρογνωστικές διαταραχές, αποκτώντας εμπειρία στην υποστήριξη και τη συνοδεία ανθρώπων με διαφορετικά αιτήματα και μορφές δυσκολίας.

Στο θεραπευτικό της έργο δίνει ιδιαίτερη έμφαση στη διαμόρφωση ενός σταθερού και αξιόπιστου πλαισίου, όπου το άτομο μπορεί να εκφραστεί με τον δικό του ρυθμό. Η εργασία εξελίσσεται μέσα από την προσεκτική κατανόηση της εμπειρίας του κάθε ανθρώπου και τη σταδιακή διερεύνηση όσων τον απασχολούν.

Το ενδιαφέρον της για τη φιλοσοφία επηρεάζει τον τρόπο που προσεγγίζει την ψυχοθεραπεία, ως μια διαδικασία που αφορά όχι μόνο την κατανόηση των δυσκολιών, αλλά και τη σχέση του ανθρώπου με τον εαυτό του και τους άλλους.
