I am a psychologist by training. I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology at Eastern Mediterranean University, where I built a strong foundation in psychological theory and practice. Later I started my Master’s degree in Communication and Social Transformation at Gaziantep University.  I continued my development through specialized training in Mental Health in Complex Emergencies at Fordham University, and for years I worked in humanitarian and psychosocial fields.  Often alongside people who were displaced, rebuilding life in new places, or carrying invisible emotional weight.

Alongside my education, I have over eight years of professional experience in humanitarian and psychosocial fields. I worked extensively within EU-funded projects and international programs, including roles connected to United Nations–affiliated initiatives, supporting people affected by displacement, migration, and social exclusion. Those experiences shaped me deeply. I’ve come to understand that healing doesn’t always begin with a diagnosis alone. Often, it begins in quieter places: being seen, being heard, feeling safe, finding language for what has been unspeakable, and slowly belonging to life again.
