About me
I am a developmental psychologist with a Master’s degree in Developmental and Educational Psychology from the University of Padua in Italy. My training is grounded in evidence-based practice, and I am specialized in the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach. I work with children, adolescents, and parents facing challenges related to emotion regulation, identity, cultural transitions, bullying, and family communication.
Across my international experience—living, studying, and working in different countries—I’ve developed a culturally sensitive and empathetic therapeutic style. I believe therapy should be a safe and collaborative space where young people feel understood and supported as they explore their emotions and strengthen their resilience. With parents, my focus is on promoting attachment and clearer communication, reducing conflict, and fostering secure, healthy family dynamics.
I speak 6 languages and I am experienced in working with families from culturally diverse backgrounds. I am based in Paris and offer online sessions, making therapy accessible regardless of location. I offer therapy sessions in both English and Turkish.
As a mother myself, I understand firsthand the complexities and emotional demands of parenting. I bring this perspective into my work, offering both professional expertise and genuine empathy to the families I support.

Approach
My therapeutic approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Positive Psychotherapy, supported by a developmental and culturally sensitive perspective. I work collaboratively with each client, helping them understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another while also identifying strengths, personal resources, and values that support well-being.
With adolescents, I focus on creating a safe, supportive space where they can express themselves openly, explore identity-related questions, process difficult experiences such as bullying, and build emotional resilience. I use practical CBT strategies alongside positive psychology techniques to help young people gain confidence and coping skills.
When working with parents, I aim to strengthen communication, reduce conflict, and deepen understanding of their child’s emotional needs. I provide guidance on navigating challenging moments, supporting emotion regulation, and fostering secure, nurturing family dynamics. Positive Psychotherapy also helps parents reconnect with their own strengths, patience, and resilience.
Overall, my style is warm, structured, and collaborative. I value clarity, empathy, and cultural awareness, and I tailor each session to meet clients where they are—emotionally, developmentally, and culturally—while helping them move toward growth and balance.
