Έχει εκπαιδευτεί στις ικανότητες συμβουλευτικής στον τομέα της τοξικοεξάρτησης στο Κέντρο Θεραπείας Εξαρτημένων Ατόμων (ΚΕΘΕΑ), σε συνεργασία με το University of California San Diego των ΗΠΑ. Είναι απόφοιτη του Τμήματος Ψυχολογίας του Αριστοτελείου Πανεπιστημίου Θεσσαλονίκης (1999), με άδεια άσκησης επαγγέλματος. Έχει εκπαιδευτεί στη Συστημική Ψυχοθεραπεία και από το Σεπτέμβριο του 2025 εκπαιδεύεται στη Συστημική Θεραπεία Ζεύγους. Διαθέτει πάνω από 23 χρόνια επαγγελματικής εμπειρίας στο χώρο των εξαρτήσεων και της ψυχικής υγείας. Μετά το πέρας των σπουδών της εργάστηκε ως Ψυχολόγος στο Δημοτικό Γηροκομείο Λάρισας και στον Οργανισμό βρεφονηπιακών σταθμών του Δήμου Λάρισας. Στη συνέχεια, εργάστηκε για 21 συνεχόμενα έτη ως θεραπεύτρια και σύμβουλος τοξικοεξαρτήσεων στο ΚΕΘΕΑ (Κέντρο Θεραπείας Εξαρτημένων Ατόμων) σε Λάρισα και Αθήνα, όπου ανέλαβε τον σχεδιασμό, τη διεξαγωγή και το συντονισμό ατομικών, ομαδικών και οικογενειακών θεραπευτικών συνεδριών, καθώς και την ενημέρωση και προετοιμασία ενεργών χρηστών ώστε να λάβουν θεραπεία. Κατά τη διάρκεια αυτών των ετών συμμετείχε σε μεγάλο αριθμό ημερίδων, σεμιναρίων και εκπαιδεύσεων εντός και εκτός ΚΕ.Θ.Ε.Α. μεταξύ των οποίων στη Δυναμική ομάδων και στο Γενεόγραμμα. Η εμπειρία της στο χώρο της απεξάρτησης υπήρξε ένας χώρος αλλαγής και συνεξέλιξης για εκείνη, καθώς απέκτησε εκτενή κλινική εμπειρία και βαθιά κατανόηση των σύνθετων αναγκών των εξαρτημένων ατόμων και των οικογενειών τους.

Η πολυετής εμπειρία της στο ΚΕ.Θ.Ε.Α. της δίδαξε πολύτιμες δεξιότητες, όπως η ενσυναίσθηση, η αποδοχή, η κατανόηση των βαθύτερων αιτιών που κρύβονται πίσω από τις δυσκολίες κάθε ανθρώπου, καθώς και τον αμέριστο σεβασμό στην προσωπική του προσπάθεια για αλλαγή. Μέσα από την καθημερινή της επαφή με ανθρώπους σε κρίση, εκπαιδεύτηκε ουσιαστικά σε αυτό που έμαθε πρώτα σε θεωρητικό επίπεδο, ότι κάθε κρίση αποτελεί, όταν κάποιος το επιδιώξει, μια ευκαιρία για βαθιά και ουσιαστική αλλαγή.

Σήμερα, στο προσωπικό της γραφείο, στόχος της είναι να μεταφέρει τη βαθιά εμπειρία της στους ανθρώπους που θα την εμπιστευτούν και να προσφέρει ένα ασφαλές, σταθερό και ανθρώπινο πλαίσιο θεραπευτικής συμμαχίας και σύνδεσης. Ένα χώρο όπου μπορεί το άτομο να εξελιχθεί, να αλλάξει ό,τι το δυσκολεύει, να έρθει σε επαφή με βαθύτερα κομμάτια του εαυτού του και να βελτιώσει την ποιότητα των σχέσεων του με τους σημαντικούς ανθρώπους της ζωής του.

Approach

Identifying the distortions in a person's thinking that are causing problems and then examining these in the light of reality. Understanding the behaviour and motivations of others and using problem-solving skills to deal with difficult situations. Dealing with fears rather than avoiding them.

It is used for people with suicidal behavior, post-traumatic stress disorder, substance use disorder, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, ADHD, depression, anxiety.

DBT focuses on acceptance and change. It helps the person to get to know themselves better, to think about why they do what they do, without judgment. Replacing a negative behavior or habit with ones that can improve the quality of life. Dialectic is the idea that two different things can be true at the same time. At the same time as accepting yourself exactly as you are, comes the recognition of your effort to change.
