About me

I am a clinical psychologist with a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Ankara University. My therapeutic work is grounded in psychoanalytic perspectives, with a deep interest in how early relational experiences shape adult emotional life, personality, and patterns of meaning-making. I work primarily with adults in individual therapy, supporting them in exploring the unconscious roots of distress and fostering a more coherent sense of self over time.

My clinical focus includes the long-term effects of childhood trauma, especially how it impacts future-oriented thinking, emotional regulation, and one’s capacity for intimacy. I believe in the transformative power of a consistent and reflective therapeutic relationship, where painful or confusing experiences can be worked through with care and attention.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Psychodynamic therapyRecommended for those looking to explore their emotions deeply and understand how past experiences shape their present life.
Psychotherapy Recommended for those who want to work through emotional or mental health challenges by talking with a trained psychotherapist.

My therapeutic style is rooted in psychoanalytic principles, with a strong emphasis on the relational and unconscious dimensions of psychological life. I offer a reflective space where clients are invited to slow down, listen inwardly, and become curious about the emotional patterns, conflicts, and defenses that may be shaping their current difficulties. I believe that meaningful and lasting change often emerges not from quick solutions, but from deepening self-understanding and developing the capacity to stay with complex emotional experiences.

In my work, I pay close attention to the therapeutic relationship itself — how past relational dynamics might be unconsciously re-enacted in the present moment between client and therapist. I see this as a powerful opportunity to bring implicit emotional knowledge into awareness, especially for clients whose early attachments were marked by neglect, inconsistency, or trauma. I try to work at a pace that respects the client’s internal rhythms, honoring both their need for safety and their wish for growth.

While my approach is insight-oriented, I am also attentive to the embodied and affective dimensions of experience — how feelings live in the body and how early emotional patterns may silently guide a person’s sense of time, agency, and connection. My aim is to help clients develop a more integrated, flexible, and alive sense of self — one that can relate to the past with greater clarity, engage the present with more freedom, and imagine the future with increased hope and creativity.
