About me
I am a licensed Psychologist from Istanbul, currently based in Amsterdam. I am blessed to be able to understand a wide range of cultural backgrounds. In the past years, I have lived, studied and worked in Poland, the United States of America, Turkiye, Sweden and the Netherlands. Therefore, I have witnessed the many challenges related to the life of an expat, international student and immigrant. I have experience with different cultures and I do work with LGBTQI+ clients.
As the oldest child of an immigrant family, I started working at a very young age (12 years old) and gained experience in different work lines. In addition to my work life, many different volunteer experiences allowed me to work with people from various countries, religions and cultures. Professionally, I have been mostly working as a researcher and lecturer.
After volunteering in women and refugee shelters I decided to devote more of my time to mental health and to help immigrants struggling with taking up residence in a foreign country and/or adapting to a new environment. I know the struggles of being far away from familiar environments and loved ones. There might be a lot of external challenges you cannot change and uncertainties that make you feel like you are losing control and getting more anxious. But I am here to listen to you and help you build a space where you can find meaning.
Also, I have been in therapy for 4 years, I know how challenging for you to take the first step and choose to show up for yourself every day! No matter what you are struggling with, there is always a better way. We got this.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
EMDRRecommended for those dealing with trauma who want to process painful memories in a structured way to reduce their emotional impact.
Holistic approachRecommended for those who want to address their mental health through a balanced focus on mind, body, and spirit.
My core belief is that every person is unique and should be treated with a unique approach based on their strengths and weaknesses. I truly believe that each person has strengths and skills and should be treated as capable of bringing out the best version of themselves.
I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I mostly use this approach by combining it with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) approach offering one-to-one sessions.
My goal as a therapist is to guide my clients through this psychotherapy journey to become their authentic selves by understanding the root of their challenges and where their issues stem from, as well as, breaking maladaptive patterns and focusing on building a fulfilling relationship with themselves and others. The most crucial point of my practice is to build a strong therapeutic alliance with my clients. In a session, I provide a warm, open, compassionate, non-judgmental space of understanding where you can tell me how you are doing and what is bothering you. As a therapist, I’ll try to understand your concerns logically and emotionally and formulate an individual goal together with you. Further, I will accompany and support you in finding your own resources and answers. Together, you can learn to reassess your experiences, make sense of them, recognize your feelings, attend to them empathetically, accept yourself as a person and stand up for your needs.
