Psychological Associates are essentially psychologists with a masters level degree in psychology that is then followed by four years of supervised experience working in the scope of practice of psychology. Both psychological associates and psychologists are well trained and licensed in Ontario to provide psychological services.
I am a Clinical Psychological Associate with over a decade of experience helping adults navigate a wide range of emotional and relational challenges. While I work with adults at all stages of life, I have particular experience supporting those in early adulthood, a time that often raises questions about identity, direction, and connection.
I work with a variety of concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, relational difficulties, neurodevelopmental challenges, identity struggles, grief, and adjustment to life transitions. In addition to psychotherapy, I also provide psychodiagnostic assessments. I offer services in both English and Turkish.
My approach is rooted in psychodynamic psychotherapy. I pay close attention to recurring patterns, attachment styles, emotional dynamics, and the ways past experiences shape current feelings and behaviour. Together, we work to make sense of what may feel confusing or overwhelming. This exploration can lead to meaningful, lasting change, not just at the surface, but at a deeper emotional level. With greater understanding often comes a sense of feeling more grounded, emotionally free, and able to build satisfying, authentic relationships with self and others.
As part of my commitment to professional growth, I engage in regular consultation and training.
