Hi, I’m Idil!

As a licensed psychotherapist, I specialize in working with clients who are struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, and OCD. I help clients break free from the cycles of over-thinking and ground themselves in self-trust.

As a first-generation American, I specialize in helping clients who are first-generation, immigrants or children of immigrants and navigating the world through the lens of two different cultures while maintaining a strong sense of self. I enjoy working with couples navigating international or multi-cultural backgrounds in their relationship.

A Compassionate, Collaborative and Evidence-Based Approach.

My approach as a therapist is collaborative, non-judgmental and curious. I often use my sense of humor to connect with clients. I show up to sessions as my authentic self to encourage you to come as you are.

Together, we'll explore your goals and identify what you’d like to achieve in therapy. Our work together will not just be a “venting” session, I’ll offer direct feedback, reflective questions, and practical tools to help you make progress and gain insight. I’ll help you recognize and silence your inner critic and choose self-compassion instead of shame and self-blame.

My approach incorporates a range of evidence-based treatment models including:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT)

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)

and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

For couples, I utilize the renowned Gottman Method to support the development of stronger, more resilient relationships. I use an anti-oppressive, anti-racist lens in therapy and am proudly LGBTQ+ affirming.

If you’re not familiar with what all these modalities mean, that’s okay!

It can be hard to imagine what a therapy session might feel like from reading a bio, which is why I encourage scheduling a free consultation to see if I’m the right therapist for your goals. There is never any pressure to book a session from a consult.
