Hello,
I am an associate psychotherapist working with adults and adolescents. My background spans both international and U.S. settings, including college counseling centers, group homes for teens in foster care, community mental health programs, and private practice.
​
Currently, I offer in-person sessions in Campbell as well as virtual therapy throughout California. I am also engaged in advanced training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy at the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis and The Psychotherapy Institute in Berkeley.
I provide therapy in both English and Turkish.
