Below, you’ll find more detailed information about my areas of focus and training background

I am a bilingual clinician who offers psychotherapy both in English and Turkish. I was trained at Yale Child Study Center and am currently an affiliated faculty supporting the training programs and research focusing on Youth Suicide Prevention.

I had my Master of Science in Social Work from Columbia University School of Social Work, graduating from the Advanced Clinical Practice Track with a specialization in Family, Youth, and Children’s Services.

I completed my post-graduate fellowship at Yale Child Study Center, where I specialized in trauma-focused, developmentally grounded, and culturally responsive care. As part of the trauma track at Yale Child Study Center- home to a National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) Category II Center-I received specialized training in evidence-based modalities including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and the Child and Family Traumatic Stress Intervention (CFTSI). During her fellowship at the Yale Center for Traumatic Stress and Recovery, she also participated in the Child Development-Community Policing (CD-CP) Program, a national model for police-mental health collaboration. In this role, she worked alongside the New Haven Police Department, providing acute response, consultation, and care coordination following incidents of community violence and trauma.

Prior to my fellowship, I completed clinical internships in hospice focusing of end-of-life care and the Emergency Department in rural Montana, providing care to individuals without access to quality care.

In addition to trauma specialization, I am trained in pediatric exposure and response prevention (ERP) for obsessive-compulsive and related disorders through the Behavior Therapy Training Institute (BTTI).
