Ειδικεύτηκε σε ψυχιατρικά νοσοκομεία και σε κέντρα ψυχολογικής υποστήριξης του Παρισιού για ενήλικες, γονείς, παιδιά και βρέφη. Συμμετέχει από το 2013 στην κλινική ομάδα της École de la Cause freudienne de Paris, όπου και εκπαιδεύτηκε δίπλα σε ψυχαναλυτές παγκοσμίου φήμης. Συνεργάζεται μαζί τους τα τελευταία χρόνια ως διοργανωτής σεμιναρίων και συνεδριών της ECF στο Παρίσι και της Παγκόσμιας Εταιρείας Ψυχανάλυσης (Association Mondiale de Psychanalyse). Στόχος της είναι η ανάδειξη της ενικότητας του συμπτώματος και της μοναδικότητας (της επιθυμίας) του κάθε υποκειμένου. Αντιμετωπίζει περιστατικά κατάθλιψης, τραυματικές εμπειρίες, κρίσεις πανικού και φοβίες, πένθος, αγχώδεις διαταραχές, προβλήματα διαπροσωπικών σχέσεων, θεραπεία ζεύγους, συμβουλευτική γονέων και παιδιών, παιδικό αυτισμό, αντιμετώπιση εθισμών και εξαρτήσεων. Συμμετέχει τακτικά σε συνέδρια στο εξωτερικό και μελέτες της έχουν δημοσιευτεί σε ξενόγλωσσα περιοδικά πάνω στο «ανησυχητικά ανοίκειο» συναίσθημα του S.Freud, την γλωσσική δομή του ασυνειδήτου, την διωκτική εμβέλεια του βλέμματος, την παραληρηματική δομή της γλώσσας, τις παραισθήσεις, τις ψυχοσωματικές διαταραχές, τη σχέση μελαγχολίας και μετουσίωσης, καθώς και την σχέση λογοτεχνίας και τρέλας. Οι συνεδρίες με παιδιά και εφήβους περιλαμβάνουν αρχικά προκαταρκτικές συνεδρίες με τους γονείς για να διευκρινιστούν οι δυσκολίες που αντιμετωπίζει το παιδί τους. Η υποστήριξη και η καθοδήγηση των γονιών είναι στόχος των συνεδριών. Oρισμένα γεγονότα, όπως δυσκολίες των νέων γονιών με το βρέφος, διαζύγιο, πένθος, δυσκολίες στο σχολικό περιβάλλον, συχνά περιλαμβάνουν συμπτώματα, όπως δυσκολία συγκέντρωσης, φοβίες, άγχος, μελαγχολικές σκέψεις, διαταραχές διατροφής και ύπνου, δυσκολίες στις διαπροσωπικές σχέσεις. Οι συνεδρίες με παιδιά και βρέφη λαμβάνουν χώρα μέσα από το παιχνίδι, με βάση το πρότυπο της ψυχαναλυτικής προσέγγισης της Françoise Dolto, πρωτοπόρος στην ψυχαναναλυτική θεραπεία παίδων, όπου αντιμετωπίζονται ως μοναδικά υποκείμενα.

Στο πλαίσιο της ειδίκευσής του στο Αιγινήτειο Νοσοκομείο απέκτησε σημαντική κλινική εμπειρία στην αξιολόγηση και θεραπευτική αντιμετώπιση ενός ευρέος φάσματος ψυχικών διαταραχών, τόσο στη γενική ψυχιατρική όσο και σε πιο εξειδικευμένα κλινικά πλαίσια, όπως στις νευροαναπτυξιακές διαταραχές, τις ανθεκτικές στη θεραπεία ψυχιατρικές διαταραχές, την εκτίμηση και διαχείριση της αυτοκτονικότητας και τις εξαρτήσεις σε ψυχοδραστικές ουσίες και αλκοόλ. Επιπλέον, συμμετείχε στα γενικά εξωτερικά ιατρεία του Αιγινητείου Νοσοκομείου, καθώς και σε ειδικά ιατρεία με αντικείμενο την ιδεοψυχαναγκαστική διαταραχή και το φάσμα της, την ψυχική υγεία των γυναικών και την ψυχιατρική της αναπαραγωγής, τις αγχώδεις διαταραχές και τις διαταραχές προσωπικότητας.

Στην κλινική του πρακτική θεωρεί σημαντική τη δημιουργία μιας θεραπευτικής σχέσης που βασίζεται στην εμπιστοσύνη, τη συνεργασία και τον σεβασμό στις ιδιαίτερες ανάγκες του κάθε ανθρώπου, με τη θεραπευτική προσέγγιση να διαμορφώνεται από κοινού. Ανάλογα με την περίπτωση, το θεραπευτικό πλάνο μπορεί να περιλαμβάνει ψυχοθεραπεία, φαρμακευτική αγωγή ή συνδυασμό των δύο, με στόχο την ανακούφιση από τα συμπτώματα και τη βελτίωση της λειτουργικότητας του ανθρώπου στην καθημερινή του ζωή.
