First Generation & International Backgrounds

I specialize in working with clients who are:

  • First Generation American

  • Children of Immigrants

  • Immigrants or Ex-pats

  • Multi-cultural, multi-racial and with international backgrounds

  • Couples with different cultural backgrounds

I am First-Gen Turkish American. While having an international background can be a beautiful thing, it can also feel like you don’t fully fit neatly into one place or identity - but rather feel like you’re constantly between two cultures, families, languages and so much more. I deeply enjoy working with people with international or similar backgrounds because I know firsthand how important it is to feel fully seen, heard and understood in this unique experience. Many of my clients are high-achieving anxious professionals in New York City with international/first-generation backgrounds, trying to make sense of their place in the world. In therapy with me, we’ll celebrate your strengths and honor the parts that make up your whole, authentic self.

Let’s Connect

For all services, I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation to assess for fit and answer any questions you may have about working with me. There is never any pressure to book a session from a consult.
