My Approach

I believe every client is unique, and I shape the therapeutic process around each person's needs. I know what living between two cultures feels like — not fully belonging here, not fully belonging to the place you left — not only from the literature, but from my own life.

I run sessions both in person and online, in Turkish and English. For appointments and further information, you can reach me via the contact page.
