About

First I listen, then we talk.

I graduated as the top student of the Speech and Language Therapy program at Anadolu University in 2019. I completed my master's and am pursuing my PhD at İzmir Bakırçay University, where I worked as a research assistant for four years.

I build my practice on international, evidence-based methods such as PROMPT, Palin PCI, and Prof. Courtney Byrd's CARE™ Model. Very few therapists in Türkiye hold this combination.

At my clinic in Mersin I work with children and with adults living with aphasia, voice, and motor speech difficulties. The family is always at the center of the process.
