Η εμπειρία της περιλαμβάνει την ψυχολογική υποστήριξη ανθρώπων με άγχος, κατάθλιψη, κρίσεις πανικού και μετατραυματικό στρες, καθώς και την αξιολόγηση αναγκών και τη διαχείριση καταστάσεων κρίσης.

Για την ίδια, σημαντικό κομμάτι της θεραπείας είναι η σχέση που χτίζεται μέσα σε αυτή. Επιδιώκει να δημιουργεί έναν ασφαλή χώρο, χωρίς κριτική, όπου ο κάθε άνθρωπος μπορεί να μιλήσει ανοιχτά, με τον δικό του ρυθμό. Η θεραπεία διαμορφώνεται από κοινού, με βάση τις ανάγκες και τους στόχους του κάθε ανθρώπου.
