I was born in Turkey and currently reside in Genova, Italy. I earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology from Middle East Technical University, Turkey, I pursued a master’s degree in clinical psychology from the University of Bergamo, Italy. I specialize in several areas, including Emotional Focused, Cognitive Behavioral, and Schema Therapy. I have also received international accreditation as a Schema Therapist from the International Society of Schema Therapy (ISST).
I practice psychotherapy with a focus on Schema Therapy, a therapeutic approach that emphasizes understanding and changing deep-seated patterns or 'schemas' that impact thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. In my work, I strive to promote self-awareness, emotional regulation, and interpersonal skills. This involves helping individuals identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns that may have originated in early life. The goal is to reshape these patterns and build more adaptive coping mechanisms, ultimately enhancing overall psychological resilience
