As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I specialize in assisting individuals of varying ages, gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, and personality style addressing a wide range of issues (including but not limited to addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, relationship problems, codependency, grief/loss, self-esteem, and anger management.) My goal is to help you create a healthier path in your life so that you can boost your confidence and feel free from your struggles. I utilize SFBT, CBT, EMDR and psychoeducation in our session. I provide services in both English and Turkish.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our initial session together we are going to begin by reviewing therapy norms such as scheduling, policies, and procedures. I will also gather information about your history, any prior experience with therapy (so that I can understand what works and does not work for you in therapy) and what brings you to want to engage in therapy at this time. This conversation will help me get to know you, begin to build trust in our therapeutic relationship, and clarify for both of us what your goals for therapy are at this time. I am also open to answering any questions you may have; helping you feel as comfortable as possible as we begin this journey.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Providing counseling is my true passion. I have been working with clients for over 8 years in addiction treatment setting. I am specialized in treating mental health issues and addiction. I am able to provide counseling in both English and Turkish.

I assist my clients in shifting their focus from problems to solutions. By exploring possibilities and potential solutions, clients cultivate optimism about their ability to overcome challenges and achieve meaningful change.
