As a somatic psychotherapist, I integrate the mind, body, and soul fostering emotional, cognitive, physical, & social integration. I've observed the transformative impact of connecting to the body: releasing emotional blockages, tapping into its wisdom, understanding behavior patterns, and transforming stuck emotions into growth. I recognize the challenges of overwhelming environments, leading to reactive and dysregulated states. Despite intellectual self-awareness, there might be a gap in emotionally embodying authentic selves. This cycle can result in disconnection from self and others.

I work with adults experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety and adjustment difficulties to new life stressors. I have extensive experience working with foreign-born clients, addressing cross-cultural issues and the emotional impact of uprooting, relocating, and redefining oneself in a new environment. I am trilingual, practicing in English, French and Turkish. I have completed psychoanalytic training at the Karen Horney Psychoanalytic Institute and have been in practice for 30 years. Practicing psychotherapy I blend introspective exploration of one's self with cognitive, supportive and problem solving approaches.

Are you stuck? Hitting the same wall in every relationship? Tired of performing while quietly burning out? Do you feel like you’re watching your life happen instead of living it? Wondering how you got so caught between identity, image, and expectation? Come as you are. Do you want to heal old wounds, absorb a loss, break toxic cycles? Has your success come at the cost of your mental health, your relationships, or even your sense of self? Come as you are.

Sessions are available in English and Turkish.
Most people arrive at therapy carrying something they've been trying to figure out on their own for a while — a pattern that keeps repeating, a relationship that isn't working, a transition that's harder than expected, or a quiet sense that something is off even when life looks fine from the outside. I work with adults who are ready to look beneath the surface of what's happening. At Knots Counseling, the work is always centered on you — your history, your emotional patterns, and what you're hoping to understand or change. Sessions are thoughtfully tailored and move at a pace that feels intentional rather than rushed.

I offer therapy both in English and Turkish.
When words aren’t enough, healing can come through creativity, connection, and care. In therapy, I offer a space where creative expression honors your story and supports your healing. My approach is integrative and multidisciplinary, blending talk therapy with expressive arts to explore what words alone cannot capture. Through drawing, collage, movement, and storytelling, our sessions become a space to process what feels unseen or unspoken. Viewing each person through a systemic and holistic lens allows to understand the many layers of identity, experience, and meaning that shape who you are.

Have you been feeling a kind of exhaustion that no rest seem to fix? Carrying a heaviness in your heart while quietly fighting battles no one else sees? Your mind chases thoughts you cannot switch off, spiraling through “what if” scenarios, replaying the past, and worrying endlessly about the future. Even in a crowd, a quiet loneliness lingers, while your own needs get buried beneath others’. Your spark dims, the person you once knew now feels distant, and though you hold space for everyone else, your heart finds nowhere to rest, every thought, every worry, becomes a weight, leaving your mind tense, restless, and haunted by itself.

Understanding the dynamics behind the repeating processes in your life, whether they are symptoms or undesirable patterns, is the first step for meaningful change or relief from symptoms. I work with both adults and children who have different forms of anxiety, depression, autism, personality disorders, trauma/loss, relationship issues or stressful life transitions. Being specialized in a range of developmental stages gives me a comfortable perspective to see and help with the root cause of issues, while also addressing my patients' more immediate needs in their day-to-day functioning.

You’re looking for a warm, structured therapist who understands NYC life, is culturally fluent (English/ Turkish), and offers clear tools, nervous-system-safe pacing, and a plan you both trust.
I help couples de-escalate fast, repair after betrayal, and revive desire. We’ll map your cycle with EFT + Gottman, then use Somatic/AEDP/IFS for safety and lasting change. For affairs: a stepwise repair (stabilize → meaning → boundaries → reconnection). For desire: responsive-desire work, sensate exercises, and simple scripts.

You may be in a dead-end and looking for a way out. Perhaps you are suffering from anxiety to a degree that you feel it is impossible for you to achieve your aspirations. Perhaps you are looking for a new way of being in the world that is more in tune with your unique history and experience.
