After graduating from the Department of Psychology at Okan University in 2014, he continued his academic education in the Developmental Psychology master’s program at the same university, completing the program in 2017 with a thesis titled “Ensest.” To deepen his specialized training, he enrolled in the Master’s program in Clinical Psychology at Üsküdar University and, in 2019, graduated with a thesis titled “A Cross-Sectional Study on the History of Sexual Abuse Among Individuals Living in Istanbul,” thereby earning the title of clinical psychologist. During this period, he completed his pedagogical training at Kocaeli University in 2018, further strengthening his professional competence.
