English
| Türkçe I am a licensed psychologist (Ph.D.) with 30+ years of experience and a medical background, helping individuals, couples, and groups. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your needs. I work with anxiety, depression, panic, trauma, stress, phobias, identity struggles, self-esteem, personality difficulties, and relationship challenges. Whether you need short-term support or more profound transformation, I offer individual, couple, and group therapy, supervision, and evaluations. Let’s work together to bring clarity and positive change. Visit my website for more on my clinical/academic background and for my publications.
My relational and integrative approach goes beyond symptom management. I focus on understanding you as a whole person, exploring underlying psychodynamics, and fostering new relational patterns. This process encourages greater flexibility, creativity, and self-reflection, helping you engage with yourself and the world more meaningfully and fulfilling.
My relational psychoanalytic approach focuses on how past and present relationship patterns shape your experiences. I take a flexible, integrative approach, drawing from humanistic, CBT, and somatic therapies to tailor treatment to your unique needs. This allows us to explore deep relational dynamics while incorporating practical tools for growth and healing
