I grew up in Istanbul, a city shaped by movement, tension, and layered histories. I learned early on that life has room for more than one thing at once—that sadness and humour, laughter and tears, can share the same space and be felt side by side. As an analyst-in-training at ISAPZURICH, this sensibility continues to shape how I approach analysis.
My background is in cultural research and human geography (PhD). For many years, I researched violence, exclusion, memory, and care in everyday life. Over time, my own life began to ask different questions of me. Moving across cities and countries brought repeated experiences of getting lost and reorienting. Mothering sharpened my attention to what truly matters. Working in competitive environments made both my capacities and my limits visible. These experiences gradually led me toward formal training in analytical psychology.
Language is central to psychoanalytic work, but it is not the only way we listen for what comes alive in the body-mind. As a trainee expressive arts facilitator, I also invite creative forms of expression, such as drawing, gentle movement, reflective photography and writing into the analytical dialogue.
At its core, analysis is opening up to the undiscovered fragments of the stories we live by. When it feels right to engage more fully with your own story, I offer a safe space and my attentive presence to explore together how it unfolds.

Es gehört zum Wesen politischer Körper, dass sie das Böse immer bei anderen sehen, ebenso wie der Einzelne die fast unausrottbare Neigung hat, sich alles dessen, was er von sich nicht weiss und nicht wissen will, dadurch zu entledigen, dass er es dem anderen zuschiebt.
