There was a time when I felt like I was moving through life slightly underwater, disconnected from myself and weighed down by something I couldn’t name. Over time, I realized my pain wasn’t only personal, but also shaped by the systems around me. We live in a world that often rewards disconnection, numbing, quick fixes, and performance over presence. As bell hooks says, “Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. Healing is an act of communion.”
I'm here to walk alongside you in your unfolding: to help you remember love, worthiness, and belonging, and to access play and creativity again.

You may already be quite self-aware yet still find yourself stuck in old patterns. You might overthink, feel anxious beneath the surface, or notice the same dynamics playing out over and over in your relationships. Even if you understand why you do what you do, you've probably discovered that awareness alone doesn’t necessarily lead to change.
I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor in Vancouver, and I work with adults who are dealing with anxiety, relationship glitches, and a deeper sense of inner conflict or disconnection. These problems often develop over time and can be difficult to shift until they are explored more deeply.

Before becoming a counsellor, I spent many years in the corporate world. Like many of you, I have experienced major life transitions, uncertainty, loss, and the challenge of rebuilding after life's unexpected turns.
These experiences led me to counselling and I started studying trauma, relationships, grief and human development. These are complex studies that takes life times to master.
My work is informed by Somatic Experiencing, Somatic Psychology, Family Systems, meditation, and breathwork. I offer counselling in English and Turkish.

Anxiety, worry, depression, or stress can prevent us from enjoying the life we desire. What we think and feel can shape our reality, how we navigate the world, and also influence how others respond to us. This is because our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours are all connected and are constantly creating feedback loops – both positive and negative. Sometimes life throws unexpected curveballs that trigger a downward spiral that (at the time) can feel impossible to recover from. Although difficult events can be destabilizing, confusing, and painful they can also offer us the greatest opportunity for growth.

If anxiety about how you're seen in the world has started running the show, or your relationship with your body feels like something you're surviving instead of living in, you're in the right place.
Much of my work lives at the intersection of body image, anxiety, and self-worth. I'm trained in dismantling weight bias and supporting people navigating appearance-based shame — the particular exhaustion of existing in a body that the world won't stop having opinions about. This work is somatic, creative, and grounded in the understanding that how you feel about yourself didn't start with you.
