Welcome!

I’m Tuba, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California and Washington. I hold a B.A. in Psychological Counseling from Boğaziçi University in Turkey and an M.A. in Counseling Psychology from Santa Clara University.

I have experience working with couples, parents, adults, and adolescents from diverse cultural backgrounds, including individuals from marginalized communities and those navigating the complexities of identity, belonging, and life transitions. I am passionate about providing a safe and compassionate space where you can explore your emotions, gain clarity, and move toward healing.

We all have strengths that make us unique, but at times, life’s challenges can cloud our ability to recognize them. Whether you're feeling stuck in relationships, struggling with self-worth, or healing from past wounds, I’m here to support you in reconnecting with your true self.

Healing happens when we allow ourselves to feel, express, and process our experiences. Together, we can uncover your inner strengths, break free from unhelpful patterns, and build a life that feels more aligned with who you truly are.

Some of Tuba’s clinical interests are:

• Emotional Well-being: Depression, anxiety, grief, self-compassion, stress management.

• Trauma & Healing: Childhood trauma, inner child work, complex PTSD, generational and cultural trauma, religious/spiritual trauma.

• Identity & Life Transitions: Multicultural and immigrant experiences, identity and belonging, women’s empowerment, life transitions.

• Relationships & Personal Growth: Attachment issues, communication, conflict resolution, perfectionism, and people-pleasing.

If you're ready to take the next step, let's connect! I offer a free 15-minute consultation to determine if we're a good fit to work together.

Therapeutic Approach

My therapeutic approach is integrative and tailored to each client’s unique needs. I incorporate Inner Child Work, Psychodynamic Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Imago Therapy, and the Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy (PACT) into my practice. By blending these modalities, I help clients deepen self-awareness, improve relationships, and create lasting emotional well-being.
