Welcome—You’re Exactly Where You Need to Be.

I’m Nuriye (she/her), and I specialize in helping deep-thinking, high-achieving adults who feel stuck in self-doubt, emotional exhaustion, and old patterns that won’t let go. You might look like you have it all together on the outside, but inside, you’re tired—tired of over-explaining, over-functioning, and feeling like you’re never quite enough.

Maybe you’ve been the strong one your whole life—the one who understands, the one who holds space for others. But deep down, you wonder: "When is it my turn to feel seen?"

I’m Not Here to Just Listen—I'm Here to Help You Change the Way Your Past Lives Inside You.

I don’t believe in surface-level coping skills that help you “manage” the pain but never actually heal it. If you’ve tried therapy before and still feel stuck, it’s not because you didn’t try hard enough. It’s because your nervous system, your emotional patterns, and your deepest wounds need more than just insight.

That’s where I come in.

I specialize in EMDR, ego state therapy, and somatic work—approaches designed to rewire the impact of trauma, emotional neglect, and toxic relationship patterns. Therapy with me isn’t just about talking—it’s about working with the nervous system, the body, and the deeper emotional parts of you that keep you stuck.

You’re Not Just Here to Survive—You’re Here to Break Free.

The people I work with are:

✔ High-achievers who are exhausted from people-pleasing, self-doubt, and carrying the weight of everyone else’s emotions.

✔ Adults who grew up in emotionally neglectful, invalidating, or critical families and now struggle with relationships, boundaries, and self-worth.

✔ Individuals who have done the work—therapy, books, self-reflection—but still feel like something inside them won’t fully let go.

✔ Survivors of narcissistic abuse or toxic relationships who want to stop repeating the same painful cycles.

✔ Those who want more than just coping strategies—they want real, lasting change.

This is Your Space to Finally Choose Yourself.

I offer virtual therapy across Connecticut and in-person therapy in Madison, CT, so whether you’re in a busy city or a quiet shoreline town, you can access the support you need.

I know taking this step isn’t easy, and I don’t take it lightly. If you’re here, it means part of you knows you’re ready for something different.

You don’t have to keep shrinking yourself to fit into spaces that don’t value you. You don’t have to keep overthinking, over-explaining, or over-functioning to feel worthy. You just have to take the first step.

And I’ll be here to walk beside you every step of the way.

Education

I earned my BA in English from SCSU in New Haven, CT and my MA in clinical counseling from USJ in West Hartford, CT. I furthered my studies by obtaining a Post-Master’s Certification concentrating in advance diagnosis and mental health advocacy from CCSU in New Britain, CT.
