About Me

As an ex-expat, I deeply understand the unique emotional landscape of migration and trauma. I help clients navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, and emotional regulation. Using approaches like Schema Therapy and EMDR, I guide you to process difficult experiences and develop healthier coping strategies. My aim is to create a space where your unique journey is truly understood. My blend of personal insight and clinical expertise offers compassionate, informed care, particularly for those adapting to new environments.

Approach

Emotion dysregulation, anxiety or the upheaval of moving shape how we work: I balance practical skill-building with paced bilateral processing and reflective exploration to meet you where you are. In Ankara or online, in English or Turkish, sessions are goal-focused and collaborative, with short experiments and tailored tasks between meetings to test new ways of coping. The rhythm is structured yet flexible—cognitive steps, deeper memory work when you’re ready, and occasional creative exercises to access nonverbal material. This way often suits those adjusting to new environments, attention differences, or persistent low mood.
