Διαθέτει πάνω από 23 χρόνια επαγγελματικής εμπειρίας στο χώρο των εξαρτήσεων και της ψυχικής υγείας. Μετά το πέρας των σπουδών της εργάστηκε ως Ψυχολόγος στο Δημοτικό Γηροκομείο Λάρισας και στον Οργανισμό βρεφονηπιακών σταθμών του Δήμου Λάρισας. Στη συνέχεια, εργάστηκε για 21 συνεχόμενα έτη ως θεραπεύτρια και σύμβουλος τοξικοεξαρτήσεων στο ΚΕΘΕΑ (Κέντρο Θεραπείας Εξαρτημένων Ατόμων) σε Λάρισα και Αθήνα, όπου ανέλαβε τον σχεδιασμό, τη διεξαγωγή και το συντονισμό ατομικών, ομαδικών και οικογενειακών θεραπευτικών συνεδριών, καθώς και την ενημέρωση και προετοιμασία ενεργών χρηστών ώστε να λάβουν θεραπεία.

Ένα χώρο όπου μπορεί το άτομο να εξελιχθεί, να αλλάξει ό,τι το δυσκολεύει, να έρθει σε επαφή με βαθύτερα κομμάτια του εαυτού του και να βελτιώσει την ποιότητα των σχέσεων του με τους σημαντικούς ανθρώπους της ζωής του.
