You might look like you’re coping on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or constantly in your head on the inside. If you’ve spent a long time carrying things on your own, starting therapy can feel overwhelming.

Anxiety and depression can show up in many ways, such as racing thoughts that won’t slow down, a constant sense of heaviness, emotional numbness, or feeling disconnected from yourself and the people you care about. I offer a calm, supportive space where you can slow down, feel heard, and begin to make sense of what you’re carrying, without judgment or pressure to have it all figured out.

I work with Teens, Adults, Couples and International University and College students who may be struggling with anxiety, overthinking, rumination, depression or low mood, relationship concerns, identity questions, or the stress of navigating multiple cultural expectations. Together, we focus on understanding what’s beneath the surface while also developing practical tools to help you feel more grounded, emotionally regulated, and connected in your daily life.

As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), my approach is person-centred, trauma-informed and culturally responsive. I integrate CBT, DBT, attachment-based, and psychodynamic perspectives, along with mindfulness-informed practices. Therapy with me is collaborative and paced to your individual needs.

As a Turkish therapist living and practicing in a Western context, I deeply understand the tension between collectivistic and individualistic cultures. I’ve never felt fully at home in just one, and I recognize how confusing and isolating it can be to move between worlds. Many of my clients come from diverse cultural backgrounds and value working with a therapist who truly understands the nuances of their experience.

I believe therapy is not about fixing you, but about reconnecting with parts of yourself that may have been silenced, stretched thin, or overlooked over time. If you’re seeking a therapist who understands anxiety, depression, identity, and the quiet struggle of belonging, I would be honoured to work with you.

Sessions are available in both Turkish and English.
