Εκπαιδεύεται στην Ψυχοδυναμική Ψυχοθεραπεία στο Ευρωπαϊκό Ινστιτούτο Συμβουλευτικής & Ψυχοθεραπείας (E.I.C.P.), στο πλαίσιο τετραετούς εκπαίδευσης. Παράλληλα, συμμετέχει σε ατομική και ομαδική εποπτεία και βρίσκεται σε προσωπική θεραπεία, στο πλαίσιο της κλινικής της εκπαίδευσης και της συνεχούς επαγγελματικής της εξέλιξης. Παρέχει ατομικές ψυχοθεραπευτικές συνεδρίες σε ενήλικες, αποκλειστικά διαδικτυακά (online), με ψυχοδυναμικό προσανατολισμό. Στο θεραπευτικό πλαίσιο δίνει έμφαση στη δημιουργία μιας σχέσης ασφάλειας, εμπιστοσύνης και αποδοχής, μέσα στην οποία ο θεραπευόμενος μπορεί να εξερευνήσει τις σκέψεις, τα συναισθήματα και τις σχέσεις του. Η θεραπευτική της προσέγγιση εστιάζει στην κατανόηση των βαθύτερων παραγόντων που συνδέονται με τις δυσκολίες που αντιμετωπίζει κάθε άνθρωπος, ενώ παράλληλα δίνεται έμφαση στον τρόπο με τον οποίο αυτές εκφράζονται και επηρεάζουν τη ζωή του στο παρόν. Μέσα από τη θεραπευτική σχέση διερευνώνται το προσωπικό ιστορικό, τα συναισθήματα, οι σχέσεις και τα επαναλαμβανόμενα μοτίβα, με στόχο την ουσιαστικότερη κατανόηση του εαυτού και την επεξεργασία των δυσκολιών που απασχολούν το άτομο.

Κατά τη διάρκεια των προπτυχιακών της σπουδών έχει επίσης ασχοληθεί ερευνητικά με τις αντιλήψεις και τις εμπειρίες των στρατευσίμων κατά τη στρατιωτική θητεία. Διαθέτει πολυετή επαγγελματική εμπειρία στις Ένοπλες Δυνάμεις, ενώ τα τελευταία χρόνια έχει αναπτύξει την ακαδημαϊκή και επαγγελματική της πορεία στον χώρο της ψυχικής υγείας. Παρακολουθεί συστηματικά εκπαιδευτικές και επιστημονικές δράσεις στον χώρο της ψυχολογίας και της ψυχοθεραπείας, με έμφαση στη δια βίου μάθηση και τη συνεχή επιστημονική και κλινική της κατάρτιση.

I have maintained a private practice – Valsamo – in Thessaloniki since 2022. I work with the aim of co-creating new life possibilities with the individuals who turn to me, so that suffering is transformed with respect and care into balsams.

I studied Sociology (Hons) at the University of Crete and continued with a four-year training in Systemic Psychotherapy and Counseling at the Laboratory of Systemic Psychotherapy & Pedagogy «Rodakino». At the laboratory of systemic ideas, research, and intervention «Entropia», I trained in counseling for parents, children, and adolescents, as well as in creative therapeutic techniques such as systemic sculpture, genogram, and the family board. Concurrently, I completed a two-year program at the Observatory for Rights in the Mental Health Field in the accompaniment of individuals experiencing mental crises and their families, and I am a member of the active accompanying team.

My professional and research activity focuses on social empowerment, depathologization, and meaning-making of the mental experience, as well as on the development of collaborative, non-psychiatric accompaniment and support practices for extreme mental experiences. I present at conferences and seminars and have published scientific articles. I am an active member of the Systemic Society of Northern Greece, the Observatory for Rights in the Mental Health Field, and the Thessaloniki Health Runners Association.
