Home / How I work

Non-judgmental, collaborative, and practical

I start from a firm grounding in evidence-based therapy and bring in tools from other approaches when they fit the person in front of me. We work on what's happening now and on the patterns underneath it. It's never too late to move past hurt and reconnect with yourself.

You set the pace

Trauma-informed care means feeling safe comes first. We go at a speed that works for you or your child, and we decide on goals together.

Body and mind together

Stress shows up in sleep, energy, and the nervous system as much as in our thoughts. We work with both, so change is something you can feel.

Grounded in nature

I feel most at home outdoors, and nature-based practices are part of my training. Time outdoors is a steady, calming resource for kids and adults alike.

Your culture and story matter

I'm bilingual in Turkish and English and have traveled to more than 50 countries. I pay close attention to each person's background, identity, and values.
