About me
After graduating from Boston University School of Management I worked in finance in Boston and Wall Street for several years when came a point where I decided to take on psychology around 2010.
I started my career with an interest in contemporary approaches to psychotherapy and took extensive training from renowned scholars and practitioners. It is fair to say I first earned my speciality in an eclectic/holistic approach. However as I settled down in my own practice I started focusing on Lacanian psychoanalysis.
Besides private practice I translate, teach in universities and ran an earthquake-response project in 2023. Also, I’m a part of “Atelier Initiative”, which is a recently-found and developing Lacanian area, founded by psychoanalyst Dr. Özge Soysal, in Turkey. The Turkish-only website can be found at: inisiyatifatolye.com.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
Lacanian PsychoanalysisRecommended for those who want to explore the unconscious mind through the lens of language and desire, focusing on understanding deeper motivations.
PsychoanalysisRecommended for those who want to explore how their unconscious mind and early experiences affect their current behaviors and feelings.
Psychodynamic therapyRecommended for those looking to explore their emotions deeply and understand how past experiences shape their present life.
I work with Lacanian psychoanalysis which is a highly custom-tailored approach to get to the bottom of the problems a patient may be facing. It is a process of uncovering subjectivity and finding a more satisfactory response to the questions, problems, conflicts and in general to the whole existence of one’s own. It is a highly personal space for one to develop and discover whatever time and resources that may be necessary. I believe it is the only way to create a sustainable and satisfactory solution to the suffering of the patient.
