Great to meet you!

Making the decision to start therapy can feel overwhelming, but taking this first step is the most difficult part of it all. My name is Sibel and I am a counselor who believes in leading with empathy and compassion, with the hope of fostering a non-judgmental and productive environment for you. I am a culturally competent counselor with experience working with adults of all ages facing anxiety, depression, eating disorders, LGBTQIA+ related-stress, life transitions and more. Collaboratively, we will work together to create and achieve your goals at a pace that is comfortable for you.

My approach to therapy

I believe in using a tailored approach to counseling, which consists of using a variety of techniques that fit the needs of yourself as a person. Human beings are complex and multi-faceted, therefore I believe that a counselor’s approach should match that as well.

What you can expect from me

During sessions, I enjoy incorporating the interests of each client for the activities, homework, and discussions because I believe that it is important to keep the client engaged and at the center of what we are doing at all times. I am here to help you on the journey to achieve your goals and become a happier, healthier version of yourself!
