I am a psychotherapist in private practice based in Istanbul, Turkey, specializing in adult psychotherapy with a focus on a psychoanalytic approach. My areas of expertise include emotional difficulties, depression, anxiety, anger, trauma, grief and loss, relationship issues, attachment, sexuality, academic and career challenges, and the psychological impacts of immigration.
I graduated from the Psychology Department at Middle East Technical University (METU) in 2018. During my undergraduate studies, I gained practical experience as an intern psychologist in the psychiatry clinics at Bakırköy Mental Health Hospital and Haydarpaşa Numune Hospital. In these settings, I participated in case evaluation meetings, observed clinical practices, and attended lectures on mental health disorders and psychotherapeutic treatments. Additionally, I worked at the AŞDER Association, which supports individuals with schizophrenia and their families, where I facilitated activities aimed at improving both the social and psychological well-being of patients.
I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Istanbul Bilgi University, where I received intensive training in psychodynamic theory. During my studies, I worked as a psychologist at the university's Psychological Counseling Center, providing psychotherapy services to students and staff. I completed my Master's thesis on the topic of sexual consent and graduated in 2021.
I actively engage in continuous professional development by attending seminars and symposiums organized by psychoanalytically-oriented societies in Istanbul. To further refine my clinical practice, I regularly participate in supervision sessions.
