About me
I am a Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist based in Istanbul. In my work, I mainly focus on exploring the unconscious dimensions of the inner world. I believe in each person’s creative potential and support them in integrating the different — and sometimes conflicting — parts of themselves.
I offer both online and in-person sessions for adults from diverse backgrounds, in Turkish and English.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
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.
My theoretical orientation is mainly psychoanalytic. From this perspective, healing becomes possible as we gain deeper insight into the unconscious parts of ourselves and our story, in the presence of a supportive other.
In my practice, I aim to create a non-judgmental and empathic space where you can express yourself freely.
Psychotherapy of any kind should be grounded in ethical principles and respect. Within this framework, I work with adults from diverse backgrounds and identities.
