Welcome. I am Deniz. When we work together, you won’t just have a therapist—you’ll find a thoughtful ally.

My path to psychotherapy began in humanitarian aid—both internationally and in the United States—standing witness to stories of loss, resilience, and hope across cultures. Today, I draw on that experience to support clients navigating grief, trauma, and identity reclamation.

I accompany those carrying profound losses—mourning a loved one, grieving a pet who rescued them from loneliness, health stolen by cancer or chronic illness, fractured family ties, or longing for a homeland to which they cannot return. Many straddle cultures, faiths, or generations. Sensitive and misunderstood by mainstream narratives of healing, many feel “too much” or “not enough.”

Here, your experience is honored—not pathologized. Together, we reclaim your voice and confidence, moving into belonging and toward a future alive with meaning and hope.

I bring trauma- and grief-informed care with a cross-cultural lens. We’ll weave mindful presence, body-based awareness, and depth-oriented conversation with creative exploration. We’ll honor how culture and community shape our lives—trusting that healing is nurtured both within us and in our connections with others. Our work will shape grounded, life-giving tools to help you return home to yourself, rooted in your values, and upheld by your dignity.

I am a neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ affirming provider.

Many of the people I support are educators, entrepreneurs, creatives, scientists, healers, and community builders—those who carry a lot, feel deeply, and are ready for a new way of being.
