I am a passionate, empathetic, and respectful practitioner dedicated to making a meaningful difference in the lives of others. With a deep commitment to supporting individuals on their journey toward improved mental health and well-being, my approach is rooted in authenticity, holistic practice, and empathy. I strive to truly understand each client's unique story and aspirations, making a positive impact in their lives through my work in psychology. One of my unique strengths is my bilingual proficiency. I am fluent in both English and Turkish.
I have extensive experience in depression, anxiety, grief and loss, attachment, and a range of psychiatric challenges. During my clinical practice, I developed skills in a range of evidence-based interventions, including CBT, SFT, Mindfulness, Exposure Therapy, MI, Schema Therapy, AOD, Trauma-Informed practice, Relapse Prevention, SUI.
My practice is guided by a strong sense of curiosity, allowing me to explore different perspectives and approaches to better support my clients. Walking alongside them, empowering them to define their own goals and navigate their path toward a fulfilling life. I approach each individual with an open mind, free of judgment, and unconditional positive regard.
