About Me


I completed my undergraduate studies in Psychology at İstanbul Medipol University through a 100% English program. At the same time, I pursued a double major in English Language Teaching, which helped strengthen my communication skills and broaden my academic foundation. During my studies, I focused on various psychotherapy approaches and had the opportunity to integrate theoretical knowledge with clinical skills through case analyses, role-play exercises, and supervised practical sessions.

My clinical journey began with an internship at Sultan Abdülhamid Han Training and Research Hospital's Psychiatry Clinic, where I participated in patient rounds with a multidisciplinary team, observed clinical processes, and assisted in therapy sessions. Currently, at De'Sen Psychology, I continue to develop my practical experience, working closely with case-based processes to solidify my theoretical knowledge.

To keep growing professionally, I continuously engage in training across different therapeutic approaches. I am currently deepening my practice in Emotion-Focused Therapy, Dynamic Psychotherapy, and Psychodrama. My goal in therapy is to create a trustworthy, evidence-based space where clients can better understand their inner processes and develop effective coping strategies.
