Αρχικά σπούδασε Μάρκετινγκ, όμως η ανάγκη της να κατανοήσει βαθύτερα τον άνθρωπο την οδήγησε στη Συνθετική Συμβουλευτική Ψυχικής Υγείας στο Κέντρο Εφαρμοσμένης Συμβουλευτικής και Ψυχοθεραπείας.

Υποστηρίζει ανθρώπους που θέλουν να διαχειριστούν το άγχος, να βελτιώσουν τις σχέσεις τους και να αποκτήσουν περισσότερη αυτοπεποίθηση. Στις συνεδρίες της θα βρεις ένα χώρο όπου μπορείς να μιλήσεις ανοιχτά, χωρίς φόβο ή κριτική και να βρεις τρόπους να ταιριάζουν σ' εσένα ώστε να αισθάνεσαι καλύτερα. Στόχος της είναι να φύγεις από κάθε συνεδρία νιώθοντας πιο δυνατός και με ξεκάθαρα εργαλεία που μπορείς να εφαρμόσεις στην καθημερινότητά σου και να αποκτήσεις μεγαλύτερη σιγουριά, ηρεμία και ισορροπία. Ενθαρρύνει με βαθιά πίστη τη δύναμη της ανθρώπινης σύνδεσης και την ικανότητα του κάθε ανθρώπου να αναπτυχθεί μέσα από την επίγνωση, την αποδοχή και τη φροντίδα του εαυτού του. Μέσα σε ένα ασφαλές και υποστηρικτικό θεραπευτικό πλαίσιο, προσφέρει τον χώρο στον θεραπευόμενο να εκφραστεί ελεύθερα, να διερευνήσει τα βιώματά του και να εργαστούν μαζί προς την κατεύθυνση της προσωπικής ενδυνάμωσης και εξέλιξής του. Η βάση της δουλειάς της στηρίζεται στη Συστημική Προσέγγιση, την οποία εμπλουτίζει με στοιχεία από άλλες μεθοδολογίες, ώστε να ανταποκρίνεται ουσιαστικά και ολοκληρωμένα στις ανάγκες των ανθρώπων που απευθύνονται σε εκείνη.

Στην πορεία της έχει συνοδεύσει ανθρώπους που αντιμετωπίζουν άγχος, στρες, συναισθηματική κόπωση, δυσκολίες στις διαπροσωπικές και ερωτικές σχέσεις, έλλειψη αυτοεκτίμησης και αυτοπεποίθησης, θλίψη, απώλεια, συναισθηματικά τραύματα, μεταβάσεις ζωής και υπαρξιακά ερωτήματα. Η προσέγγισή της βασίζεται στη Συστημική Θεωρία, η οποία βλέπει το άτομο ως μέρος ενός ευρύτερου πλαισίου – της οικογένειας, των σχέσεων και των κοινωνικών του δικτύων. Μέσα από αυτό το πρίσμα, μαζί με τον θεραπευόμενο διερευνούν πώς οι σχέσεις και τα συστήματα στα οποία ανήκει επηρεάζουν τις σκέψεις, τα συναισθήματα και τις συμπεριφορές του. Πιστεύει ότι η θεραπευτική διαδικασία είναι μια δυναμική και δημιουργική διαδρομή κατανόησης και αλλαγής, με στόχο την ενίσχυση της σύνδεσης, της επικοινωνίας και της εσωτερικής ισορροπίας. Απευθύνεται σε όποιον νιώθει την ανάγκη για αλλαγή, επιθυμεί να ακουστεί σε βάθος ή να συνδεθεί ουσιαστικά με τον εαυτό του, συνοδεύοντάς τον με σεβασμό και ενσυναίσθηση.

«Η αλλαγή ξεκινά από τη στιγμή που αποφασίζεις να σε ακούσεις.»
