I was born in Istanbul and also completed my basic education in Istanbul. In 2009, I started Koç University and successfully graduated from the Psychology major and Philosophy minor in 2015. Synchronously, I also completed Anadolu University of Public Relations and Business Administration Departments with degrees.

After completing my undergraduate education, I enrolled Işık University Child Adolescent Oriented Clinical Psychology Master Program in 2015 and graduated with a degree in 2017. I studied at Işık University Child Adolescent Focused Clinical Psychology Doctorate Program which I started in 2019 and graduated in 2023. Thus, I earned the title of doctor.

During my working life and experiencing process, I did internships in all policinics of Erenköy Psychiatric Hospital. Also, I played an active role in the research processes carried out at the Koç University of Laboratory of Children’s Language and Communication Development. Then, I worked as a school psychologist to support children and their families in private schools for two years. I have been a volunteer at the Turkish Education Volunteers Foundation since 2012.

Since 2016, I have been providing child, adolescent, adult, couple and family therapy support in English and Turkish as freelance. I maintain therapies of my clients with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR Therapy, Schema Therapy, Play Therapy and Psychodrama techniques.
