Hi there, I'm Natalie!

I enjoy helping my clients improve their self-confidence so they can live happier and fulfilling lives. My focus is on creating a supportive space where you can process emotions and develop healthier patterns.

My focus

I work with individuals facing depression, trauma, anxiety, bipolar disorder, codependency, family conflict, legal stress, life transitions, racism and discrimination, oppositional defiance, psychosis, racial identity concerns, school issues, and spiritual matters.

My approach

I tailor sessions to meet your unique needs. As a psychodynamic therapist, I focus on the roots of emotional suffering, typically connected to childhood experiences. I help you self-reflect and examine problematic communication and relationship patterns developed over time.

My communication style

You can expect me to communicate in a direct, but respectful, sensitive, and compassionate manner. I am here to listen, support, and empower you throughout your treatment journey.

My journey to mental healthcare

Helping others has always brought me joy. I was raised to be kind, empathetic, and see the humanity in all people, which has helped me develop a genuine interest in hearing people's stories and finding ways to help them.

My goals for you

Treatment goals are the guiding framework for your sessions. We will discuss and define your goals together at the end of your first session. I will summarize what you have shared and suggest potential goals while welcoming your input.

Our first session

The first session will consist of a brief introduction and gathering basic information about any previous therapy, family and personal history, and the reason you're seeking therapy. We will review your current symptoms and identify your biggest challenges and greatest areas for growth.
