She has been practicing therapy in private practice since 2010 and working with the program since 2016. Completed her bachelor studies at the University of Crete, in Greece and finished her masters at the University of Leiden, the Netherlands. These studies provided the opportunity and tools to work as a life coach, providing seminars on acculturation and life skills to expatriates. She was specifically trained in CBT, which is the main approach in our program here. She is also trained in and practice Eco-psychology, the study of how the human psyche, nature and society are one and the same. Her training in working with BFRB’s, as well as trauma, has guided comprehension of how our body and mind are unified. Focusing on and becoming aware of our body and sensations can help us explore our emotions, strengthen the relationship with ourselves, our identity and promote our autonomy.
