Hi there, I'm Natalie!

Are you high functioning yet only getting the bare minimum done? Feeling stuck like there is more to life? Feeling disconnected from everyone around you? Having trouble sleeping because your anxiety and racing thoughts emerge right when you try to rest? I'm here to help.

My focus

My passion and direct experience are in working with those diagnosed with bipolar disorder, depression, psychosis, trauma, substance use, anxiety, and grief. I have experience working in acute care in various settings, as well as experience working with first responders & law enforcement.

My approach

I provide a safe, warm, non-judgmental space to explore your needs, work towards your goals, and improve your functioning. I encourage active participation in your treatment. I utilize CBT, DBT, Somatic Experiencing, Motivational Interviewing, Attachment Theory, and Solution Focused Therapy to support your growth and development.

My communication style

I aim to meet you where you are at, while also aiding you in reaching the goals you set in place. This is your treatment. Together, we will focus on your strengths, goals, and future, exploring what is going well in your life. You might have all the tools and resources at hand all along.

My journey to mental healthcare

I earned my Master's in Counseling (MC) degree from the National University in San Diego, CA, between May 2015 and May 2017. This education, along with my experience working in acute care settings and with first responders, has given me a deep passion for helping others improve their mental health and well-being.

My goals for you

My goal is for you to gain insight, develop coping skills, regulate emotions, improve relationships, increase distress tolerance, process trauma, and ultimately live a more fulfilling life. I want to empower you with the tools and self-awareness to thrive.

Our first session

Our first session will be an assessment for me to gain an understanding of biological, psychological, and social factors that may be contributing to the reasons that bring you to therapy. In our second session, we can begin processing what was bringing you into therapy. You will also get a feel for my style to make sure we are a good fit.
