Trauma, Divorce, Loss, and Grief are roads best traveled together.

I walk alongside my clients through the first painful steps of healing from trauma, the all consuming emotional rollercoaster of divorce, and the emptiness of loss and grief. Together we reflect on the imprint of the past, navigate the next steps, learn new responses, discover possibilities, reclaim your power, and reignite hope.

I believe it’s possible to cultivate joy through life’s toughest chapters. You can emerge on the other side with resilience, strength, and the energy to write the best next chapter of your life.

Let’s do this work together. I’ve been where you are and have hope for your life to be the life you dream it to be – full of purpose, clarity, and JOY. You can do this. I can help.

I work 1:1 with clients via Zoom or Google Meet.

As a Certified Grief Educator trained through the work of David Kessler, I support individuals navigating loss with compassion, presence, and deep respect for each unique journey. My understanding of grief is that it is not something to fix, but something to witness, honor, and gently integrate over time.

My work is not only grounded in professional training, but also in my own lived experience with grief and loss. Having been the sole caregiver for my mother for over 15 years, I carry a deep understanding of the quiet, often unseen layers of caregiving, anticipatory grief, and the profound importance of self-care. This experience continues to shape the way I hold space—with tenderness, patience, and reverence for both the one who grieves and the one who gives.

I support a wide range of grief experiences beyond death, including the ending of relationships, career transitions, identity shifts, and other significant life changes. I honor all forms of grief and hold space for whatever has brought you here.

As a holistic and spiritual practitioner, I recognize the connection between mind, body, and soul in the healing process. With an international, multicultural background and fluency in English and Turkish, I work with individuals from diverse cultures, faiths, and belief systems.

I also gently support those open to exploring afterlife experiences, offering comfort in the signs and continued connection many feel with loved ones beyond physical presence.

I believe deeply that love is eternal and never lost—and it is within that love that we continue our connection, our healing, meaning of life and our journey forward.

With deep gratitude, I honor David Kessler for his teachings and guidance. It is a privilege to carry this work forward with presence, integrity, and heart.
