I am a certified and experienced philosophical counselor accredited by the American Philosophical Practitioners Association (APPA), offering online and in-person counseling for individuals and couples over 17. My counseling services can be brief or long-term and are available in English, Turkish, and Arabic.
My holistic and integrative approach draws on various schools of thought, including psychodynamic, person-centered, existential, and post-existential modalities. I help clients identify their strengths, enhance their capacity for self-reflection, and achieve peak performance in their personal and professional lives.
I strive to make classical and contemporary philosophy accessible to all, putting philosophy into practice as a way of life. Inspired by thinkers like Socrates, Rumi, and Confucius, my work highlights the relevance of philosophy in every aspect of life—from career to relationships and beyond.
As a bilingual translator bridging academia and the wider world, I aim to bring the transformative power of philosophy to everyone. My mission is to guide you toward a deeper understanding of yourself and the world, empowering you to live a thoughtful, purposeful life. Join me in this journey of self-discovery and enlightenment.
Examined Life: The Power of Philosophical Thinking
Thinking philosophically is invaluable in every aspect of life. It empowers you to forgive yourself and others for mistakes, find meaningful ways to respond to injustices, accept what you can’t control, and make confident choices.
Plus, it’s intellectually stimulating and enjoyable!
People seek philosophical counseling for various reasons. Some struggle with low self-esteem, face difficult choices, and feel indecisive and confused, or grapple with loss, grief, and resentment.
Others simply wish to explore philosophical issues that intrigue them with a trained philosopher. Additionally, many seek to understand and find answers to existential problems and questions about the meaning of life.
Inspired by Socrates' belief that “the unexamined life is not worth living,” philosophical counseling invites you to deeply reflect on your beliefs, values, and choices.
It calls for a journey towards greater self-awareness, clarity, and purpose.
Examining your life philosophically opens the door to profound personal growth and a more fulfilling existence.
“The philosopher’s treatment of a question is like treating an illness.”
— LUDWIG WITTGENSTEIN, PHILOSOPHICAL INVESTIGATIONS
“To be clear-headed rather than confused; lucid rather than obscure; rational rather than otherwise; and to be neither more, nor less, sure of things than is justifiable by argument or evidence. That is worth trying for.”
—Geoffrey Warnock, (Philosophers, by Steve Pike)
