About me
After graduating from American Collegiate Institute, I completed my undergraduate education in Psychology at Istanbul Bilgi University. During my undergraduate education, I completed my internship at French Lape Hospital. At the same time, I had the opportunity to volunteer at Millennium Kindergarten with children with special needs.
After my undergraduate education, I started working as an intern at Moodist Psychiatry and Neurology Hospital. After a while, I was appointed as an Assistant Psychologist. Here, I took on various duties on the general psychiatry ward floor with inpatients, conducted art therapies, and played an important role in the coordination of interns and patient communications.
Subsequently, I started the Master's Program in Clinical Applications of Psychology (MSc) at Kingston University London in England. During my education, I took on the Volunteer Club Leader role in a program for children with special needs called "Pyramid Club" at Claygate Primary School. I completed my master's degree with "Hons" with my thesis titled "The Effect of Attachment Styles and Parenting Styles on Self-Disclosure in Romantic Relationships", which I conducted with participants in the 18-65 age group from many countries.
Throughout my career, I have worked on various online psychological counseling platforms and in the consultancy practices of insurance companies and private companies.
After the February 6 Kahramanmaraş earthquake, I worked with TARDE, of which I am a member. I carried out active field work and online support.
Currently, I work on various psychological counseling platforms and in my location in Maslak. I provide therapy both online and face to face.

Approach
I adopt an eclectic approach in my therapy practices. I benefit from the practices of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Schema Therapy schools in my individual psychotherapy processes. In couple therapy processes, I apply the Gottman Couple Therapy method.
In addition to disorders such as Depression, Panic Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, OCD, Phobias, Psychosomatic Disorders and Personality Disorders, I specialized in family and relationship problems, communication problems, traumatic experiences, difficulties encountered in business life, anger control problems and concentration problems.
My aim is to support individuals in achieving mental well-being and personal growth. I address specific issues such as anxiety and relationship challenges, while enhancing coping strategies and interpersonal skills. I encourage positive behavioral changes and provide a safe, supportive space for clients to explore their thoughts and emotions. Ultimately, my goal is to help individuals build resilience and lead more fulfilling lives.
