| Türkçe Licensed psychologist (Ph.D.) with 30+ years' experience and a medical background. I provide individual, couples, and group therapy for adults dealing with anxiety, depression, panic, trauma, stress, phobias, identity questions, self-esteem struggles, personality patterns, or relationship pain. My style is warm, direct, and collaborative—linking depth-oriented insight with practical steps toward change. Whether you want short-term support or a deeper, lasting transformation, we will tailor the work to your goals at your pace. I also offer supervision and psychological evaluations. Visit my website for my background and publications.
My relational approach goes beyond symptom relief. We focus on you as a whole person—your history, strengths, and the patterns that keep you stuck. Together, we explore what’s underneath and practice new ways of relating to yourself and others. This work builds flexibility, creativity, and self-reflection, helping you live and connect with meaning and ease.
My relational psychoanalytic approach examines how past/present relationship patterns shape how you feel, think, and act. I stay flexible and integrative, drawing from humanistic, CBT, and somatic therapies to fit your needs. We can go deep into relational dynamics while using practical tools to reduce distress, build resilience, and support lasting growth.
