Διατηρεί ιδιωτικό γραφείο στην Γλυφάδα και παρέχει ατομικές συνεδρίες σε ενήλικες και εφήβους από 16 ετών και άνω, τόσο δια ζώσης όσο και online. Η προσέγγισή της είναι συνθετική και εξατομικευμένη, συνδυάζοντας στοιχεία από την κλινική υπνοθεραπεία, τη βιωματική ψυχοθεραπεία, τη φιλοσοφική συμβουλευτική, την παιγνιοθεραπεία, τη δημιουργική έκφραση και την εργασία με πεποιθήσεις. Στο θεραπευτικό πλαίσιο δίνεται έμφαση στην ασφάλεια, την εμπιστοσύνη και τον σεβασμό στον ρυθμό του κάθε ανθρώπου, ιδιαίτερα όταν υπάρχει δυσκολία στη λεκτική έκφραση ή στο άμεσο άνοιγμα. Ιδιαίτερο μέρος της δουλειάς της αποτελεί η σύνδεση ψυχολογίας, διαλογιστικής διερεύνησης και δημιουργικών θεραπευτικών εργαλείων, μέσα από ήπιες και χαμηλής έκθεσης διαδικασίες. Παράλληλα με τις ατομικές συνεδρίες, αναπτύσσει το Estia Soul Space, έναν χώρο αφιερωμένο στην αυτογνωσία, τη δημιουργική έκφραση και τη θεραπευτική συνάντηση μέσα από ατομικές και ομαδικές βιωματικές διαδικασίες. Η θεραπευτική της στάση βασίζεται στην πεποίθηση ότι ο άνθρωπος δεν χρειάζεται να “διορθωθεί”, αλλά να ακουστεί ουσιαστικά, να κατανοήσει την ιστορία του και να ξαναβρεί έναν πιο αυθεντικό τρόπο σχέσης με τον εαυτό του και τους άλλους.

Παράλληλα, ολοκληρώνει την εκπαίδευσή της στη Συνθετική Συμβουλευτική και Ψυχοθεραπεία σε μεταπτυχιακό επίπεδο στο University of Derby. Η θεραπευτική της προσέγγιση είναι Συνθετική και προσαρμόζεται στις ανάγκες, τις δυσκολίες και τους στόχους κάθε ανθρώπου. Αξιοποιεί στοιχεία από την Προσωποκεντρική, τη Γνωσιακή Συμπεριφορική και την Ψυχοδυναμική προσέγγιση, με στόχο την καλύτερη κατανόηση των συναισθημάτων, των σκέψεων και των μοτίβων που επηρεάζουν την καθημερινότητα και τις σχέσεις. Η εξειδίκευσή της στην Ψυχολογία της Υγείας της επιτρέπει να προσεγγίζει τον άνθρωπο ολιστικά, λαμβάνοντας υπόψη τη στενή σύνδεση μεταξύ ψυχικής και σωματικής υγείας. Στο θεραπευτικό πλαίσιο μπορεί να διερευνηθεί η επίδραση του άγχους, των συναισθημάτων, των σχέσεων και των καθημερινών συνηθειών στη συνολική ευεξία, καθώς και η ψυχολογική επιβάρυνση που μπορεί να συνοδεύει ένα ζήτημα υγείας, μια διάγνωση ή μια περίοδο σωματικών αλλαγών.

Στις συνεδρίες επιδιώκει να δημιουργεί ένα ήρεμο, ασφαλές και χωρίς κριτική πλαίσιο, όπου κάθε άνθρωπος μπορεί να εκφράσει ελεύθερα όσα τον απασχολούν, με σεβασμό στον προσωπικό του ρυθμό και στις ανάγκες του. Για την ίδια, η ψυχοθεραπεία δεν έχει στόχο να υποδείξει σε κάποιον πώς πρέπει να ζήσει, αλλά να τον βοηθήσει να γνωρίσει καλύτερα τον εαυτό του, να αναγνωρίσει τις ανάγκες του και να κάνει επιλογές που έχουν προσωπικό νόημα. Η θεραπευτική διαδικασία αποτελεί έναν χώρο όπου μπορούν να συνυπάρξουν οι δυσκολίες, η αυτογνωσία και η αναζήτηση νέων, πιο βοηθητικών τρόπων διαχείρισης.
