You must get lost before you can find yourself

Here you will get the support and guidance you need in rediscovering your true strength– your self–that you buried long ago beneath others’ expectations and the weight of shame that was never yours to carry.

You are suffering because your journey of transformation has started

Anxiety, depression, loneliness, addiction, or feeling stuck often stem from deep, unseen wounds caused by complex and developmental trauma.

From the moment we are born, as vulnerable children, we instinctively build protective layers to shield our wounded parts. These shells keep us safe—until they don’t. When life’s waves hit hard, through loss, crisis, or more trauma, cracks begin to form. In an attempt to protect ourself, we build even thicker walls, but what once kept us safe now traps us. We feel disconnected from others, from ourself. Alone. Lost. Our thoughts race: What’s wrong with me? Where did I go wrong? 

But this period—the one where you question everything, when the pain feels unbearable—is not the end. It’s the beginning. The beginning of meeting yourself with compassion, of being seen, heard, and transformed. The beginning of remembering that your true strength doesn’t come from the shell, but from the protective light and self-healing force inside you—the one that has always been there, waiting to guide you home.

So no, there is nothing wrong with you. It’s simply time. Time to embrace the light within, to let the shells soften, and to transform to the being you were always meant to become.

Hi there, I’m Sevil.

I’ve also experienced a lot of pain—going through the motions, unsure of what is missing or why everything still feels off. And at times, even finding it too hard to go through the motions at all, wondering, what’s even the point?

What helped me through was my deep curiosity about existence and the human experience. I’ve spent much of my life wondering why we’re here, what makes a meaningful life, and how we come to feel whole. That personal search not only guided me out of avoidance and numbing, and into a more vibrant life—one rooted in connection, meaning, and authenticity—but also led me to become the therapist I am today.

A therapist who knows firsthand the courage it takes to sit and meet the true self—someone intimately familiar with both the pain and the joy of transformation. This spirit of inquiry now lives in my work. It makes me an eager, fearless, and compassionate partner as we explore the landscape of your inner world together, at your pace.
