What I Help With

What brings people to therapy

You might recognize yourself in one or more of these.

Anxiety & Stress

Persistent worry, panic attacks, social anxiety, or feeling constantly on edge. Anxiety often spreads into unexpected areas of life, making ordinary tasks feel overwhelming.

Depression & Low Mood

When motivation disappears and life feels heavy, it helps to understand what's happening. I work with feelings of emptiness, loss of interest, and the exhaustion that comes from carrying difficult emotions without support.

Life Transitions

Relocation, career changes, relationship shifts, becoming a parent. These major transitions can unsettle your sense of who you are. Therapy provides space to process what's changed and find your footing.

Relationship Difficulties

Recurring conflicts, communication struggles, difficulty with boundaries, patterns that repeat across relationships. Understanding how you relate to others can break cycles that cause pain.

Expat & Cross-Cultural Challenges

Living abroad brings specific challenges: questions about identity, grief for what you left behind, navigating relationships across cultures. My own international background and training in migration psychology inform how I work with these experiences.

Personal Growth

You don't need a diagnosis to benefit from therapy. Many people come to understand themselves better, work through old patterns, or simply have a space for honest reflection.

Working Together

How therapy works

Therapy is not advice-giving. My role is to help you understand what's happening beneath the surface: the tension between who you were, who you're becoming, and who you want to be.

As an independent practitioner, I work outside insurance frameworks. No diagnosis required, no treatment time limits, no referral letter needed. What we work on is guided by you.

I work with weekly sessions because consistent contact builds momentum. If you're considering starting, it's worth knowing this upfront.

FAQ

Common questions

No. I work independently from insurance companies, so you can contact me directly without a referral letter.

The first session is about understanding your situation: what brought you here, what you're dealing with now, and what you hope to change. It's also a chance to see if working together feels right.

Sessions are €130 for 45 minutes. I send an invoice after each session.

Yes, completely. I'm bound by professional ethics and Dutch law to protect your privacy.

Having lived in Turkey, Canada, the US, Germany, and the Netherlands, I understand what it's like to navigate different cultures.

We can work with whatever timeframe you have. If you relocate, online sessions allow us to continue regardless of where you move.

About

About me

I earned my Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Erasmus University Rotterdam, with international experience at universities in Canada, the US, the Netherlands, and Germany.

I work with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and identity questions. My approach draws on CBT, Schema Therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness, adapted to what actually helps you.

As a NIP-registered psychologist, I offer therapy in English, Turkish, and Dutch. My international background means I understand the particular challenges of living between cultures, though I work with anyone seeking support.

I'm also an active member of the NIP Committee for Culture and Diversity, contributing to the profession's understanding of culturally sensitive mental healthcare.
