About Me

I received my Bachelor’s degree in Guidance and Psychological Counseling from Boğaziçi University. I subsequently completed my specialization by earning a Master’s degree in Couple and Family Therapy from Özyeğin University. This program is a member of the European Family Therapy Association Training Institutes Chamber (EFTA-TIC) and is accredited by the International Family Therapy Association (IFTA).

My interest in art therapies, which began during my undergraduate years through various projects, has led me to further my academic training. As of 2025, I am continuing my studies at the Metàfora Art Therapy School.

Clinical Experience & Training During and after my undergraduate studies, I gained international experience in Berlin. I completed clinical internships at Vivantes Hospital (Department of Psychiatry, Psychotherapy, and Psychosomatics) and the Kadem Center for Neurology, Child Psychiatry, and Psychotherapy. I also volunteered in parenting and child development projects in both Germany and Argentina.

In Istanbul, I completed a clinical internship at Samatya Training and Research Hospital and various internships at private and public high schools. Throughout this period, I integrated a psychodynamic perspective into my practice by attending psychodynamic-oriented supervisions.

During my graduate studies, I provided therapy to individuals, couples, and families under intensive supervision at the Özyeğin University Couple and Family Center (ÖzÜÇAM). Concurrently, I worked as a psychotherapist at the Kartal Women’s Counseling Center and conducted group sessions for parents as part of the YÖRET Foundation’s “ABC of Being a Parent” project. Between 2021 and 2022, I completed training for the ÇABA Project (Child-Parent Development Workshop) under Bilgi University Psychotherapy Studies, becoming a workshop practitioner for child and parent groups. I also served as a volunteer psychotherapist at KASDER (Neuromuscular Disorders Association of Turkey).

Professional Affiliations & Current Practice I am an active member of the International Center for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy (ICEEFT), the Couple and Family Therapies Association (ÇATED), and the Network of Immigrant Psychologists and Psychotherapists (GPPA). From 2023 to 2025, I served as the co-chair of the Medical Family Therapy Committee at ÇATED.

In my clinical practice, I utilize a Psychodynamic approach for individual therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples, and a Systemic approach for families.

I currently continue to see adults, couples, and families online through Bude Psychotherapy Center.
