Η κλινική της εμπειρία έχει διαμορφωθεί μέσα από την εργασία της σε δημόσια και ιδιωτικά πλαίσια ψυχικής υγείας. Σε συνέχεια της πρακτικής της άσκησης, παρείχε υπηρεσίες Ψυχολόγου στη Β’ Ψυχιατρική κλινική του Πανεπιστημιακού Γενικού Νοσοκομείου "Αττικόν".

Στο γραφείο της εργάζεται ψυχαναλυτικά με ενήλικες και εφήβους. Στο πλαίσιο της ψυχαναλυτικής θεραπείας αναπτύσσεται ο λόγος του υποκειμένου μέσω του οποίου έρχονται στο συνειδητό του σκέψεις και συναισθήματα απωθημένα, οδηγώντας τον έτσι, με την υποστήριξη της θεραπεύτριας, στην κατανόηση των συμπτωμάτων του ως αποτέλεσμα ενδοψυχικών συγκρούσεων.

Η ψυχαναλυτική διαδικασία είναι μια θεραπεία λόγου που επιτρέπει στο υποκείμενο μέσω του ελεύθερου συνειρμού του να διατυπώσει την επιθυμία του, ώστε να αναδυθεί ο αληθινός εαυτός του, χωρίς να κατευθύνεται να προσαρμοστεί σε κάποιες νόρμες.

Στη θεραπεία προσφέρεται ο χώρος και ο χρόνος να ακουστούν όσα λέγονται ή δε λέγονται από το υποκείμενο.
