““This being human is a guest house. Every morning is a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor...Welcome and entertain them all. Treat each guest honorably. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.” -Rumi.
Together, we will welcome the complex feelings and thoughts that bring hardship, joy, awareness, grief, and sadness—those inevitable parts of human nature that show up at your door. In a space that belongs to you, we will honor and embrace them all.
In my practice, we will learn and grow together in a non-judgmental space. You will explore the corners of your soul with a tailored, eclectic approach that draws from various modalities of psychology such as psychodynamic psychotherapy, Gestalt, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness-based therapy. This approach is specially designed to fit your unique needs and experiences on this journey.
I am eager to accompany clients from diverse backgrounds, beliefs, and upbringings on their path. Whether you are well-versed in therapy or just beginning, I am excited to support you along the way.
I graduated Magna Cum Laude with my bachelor’s degree from Istanbul Aydin University. During my bachelor's studies, I had the opportunity to work in various fields of psychology as an intern. I worked at Bakırkoy Psychiatry Hospital and KTU Farabi Hospital in the inpatient unit, gaining experience with organic mental disorders and mood disorders. To extend my knowledge further, I also worked as a neuropsychology intern at Neuropsychology Laboratory of Istanbul Faculty of Medicine. I have participated in various international projects as an editor for psychology publications and have been involved in research projects aimed at decreasing anxiety in adolescents and improving their development.
I have extensive experience in various fields of psychology, including neuropsychology, mental disorders, mood disorders, personality disorders, and eating disorders, with a strong foundation in the psychodynamic psychology approach. Prior to my residency at The Soho Center, I worked at the Brooklyn College Counseling Center.!
As a bilingual therapist, I conduct therapy in both Turkish and English.
I look forward to being a part of your journey and supporting you every step of the way!
