CV

Born in 1974 in Ardeşen. Completed her primary, secondary, high school and university education in Trabzon. She specialized in Mental Health and Diseases at Cumhuriyet University. She is married and has 3 children.

I became a Psychiatrist in 2006 and have been practicing psychiatry for approximately 20 years. I place great importance on continuous professional development, closely following current scientific developments and regularly attending national and international psychiatric congresses.

I have particularly focused on psychotherapy throughout my professional career. I successfully completed an advanced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) training program under Professor Hakan Türkçapar, consisting of one year of foundational training followed by two years of supervision. I have been actively incorporating CBT into my clinical practice for approximately 15 years. In addition, I continue to develop my knowledge and clinical experience in Schema Therapy, Supportive Psychotherapy, and Existential Psychotherapy.

I have also completed professional training in sex therapy through CETAD (Turkish Association for Sexual Education, Treatment and Research). I provide psychotherapeutic support and treatment for various sexual dysfunctions, particularly vaginismus.

In my outpatient practice, I do not view psychiatry as simply prescribing medication and sending patients away. I believe that each person should be evaluated holistically, taking into consideration not only their medical and psychological condition, but also their social and economic circumstances, developmental history, relationships, and current stage of life.

I believe that psychiatric assessment should focus not only on symptoms, but also on the life context in which those symptoms emerge. Therefore, rather than dismissing patients with the attitude of “If you want to talk, you should see a psychologist,” I consider listening, understanding, evaluating, and, when appropriate, incorporating psychotherapeutic approaches into treatment to be an integral part of psychiatric practice.

My professional approach is based on scientific knowledge, ethical principles, respect for human dignity, and sensitivity to individual differences. I strive to provide care without discrimination based on religion, language, race, gender, sexual orientation, or any other personal characteristic, within the framework of universal human rights and professional ethics.

While keeping up with current scientific developments, I also use technological tools, including artificial intelligence, to support my professional practice. I believe that technology should complement clinical assessment and improve the quality of care rather than replace the human being or the therapeutic relationship.

My goal is to provide a scientifically grounded and genuinely human approach to psychiatry—one that sees each patient not merely as a diagnosis or a collection of symptoms, but as a whole person with biological, psychological, social, and developmental dimensio
