Hayatınızda tatmin edici bir ilişki veya cinsellik istiyorsunuz. Belki ihtiyaçlarınızı doğrudan ifade etmekte zorlanıyorsunuz ve ilişkilerinizde tartışma kısır döngülerinde takılıp kalıyorsunuz. Belki tutku kaybıyla veya cinsel kaygılarla mücadele ediyorsunuz. Partnerinizden daha iyi duygusal destek, takdir, saygı veya tatminkar cinsel ilişki istemenin yollarını merak ediyor olabilirsiniz. Eğer bir göçmen veya yabancıysanız, ya da kültürler arası bir ilişkiniz varsa, kültürel farklılıklarla karşılaşabilirsiniz. Geleneksel olmayan veya açık bir ilişkiniz varsa, farklı değerler ve ilişki tarzlarını yönetmek zor geliyor olabilir.

Unspoken hurt finds insidious ways of impacting our daily lives and expresses itself in symptoms. Psychotherapy is a relational process where we can unpack these symptoms to clarify your struggles in living, while we identify a path forward that feels satisfactory. When it comes to circumstances that are beyond control, grief and acceptance might be at the forefront of our discussions. As your therapist, my goal will be to create a safe and understanding relationship with you where we will cherish curiosity to find new ways of being in the world, with more compassion for yourself and others, increased ease and clarity.

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.

I work with adult clients experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress and adjustment difficulties to new life stressors. I have extensive experience working with foreign-born clients, addressing cross-cultural issues, as well as 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. I have been in practice for twenty years. In practicing psychotherapy I blend introspective exploration of one self with cognitive, supportive and problem solving approaches.

Living with Anxiety? Have you been dreading the day as soon as you wake up? You cannot breathe or think clearly. Have difficulties with eating and sleeping?

You feel out of control. You are NOT alone! I am here to help. You and I will collaboratively find ways to reduce your anxiety by mostly remembering to breathe! We will explore your specific anxieties and find realistic tools that work for you.

I adapt my working methods to the needs of each individual who applies for psychotherapy; supporting someone in understanding a crisis event such as divorce, loss of a loved person or pet, or unusual stress or trauma. I work psychoanalytically when the therapy reaches a deeper level. My overall preference is to work with adults who are ready to sit down and commit to the interplay of understanding themselves at close range. Often this need arises during times of crisis and that is always a good time for beginning this life affirming process.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 18 years of experience working with adults, adolescents and children. In psychotherapy, I believe in creating a safe and collaborative environment that can serve as a catalyst for self-understanding and change. Through open self-expression and close listening, I seek to shed light on the multilayered nature of problems and clarify various relational, emotional and thought processes that are involved. Depending on your individual needs the work of psychotherapy may include elements of deepening insight, strengthening coping abilities or implementing life style changes.

Understanding the dynamics behind the repeating processes in your life, whether they are symptoms or undesirable patterns, is the first step for meaningful and durable change. I work with both adults and children who have different forms of anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, or stressful life transitions. I also work with children who present with developmental or behavioral issues.
