Hi, my name is Natalie! My passion in the field lies with childhood traumatic experiences and how these take a physical toll on our bodies. Trauma can place heavy burden on the unconscious parts of our mind and manifest as physical sensations, certain thought patterns/habits, and self-fulfilling prophecies. In this way, it is important to call attention to these details of our lives, as they make profound differences in personal mental health. They also have a cyclical relationship with those in disadvantaged populations, leading to over-incarceration; medical neglect; stereotyping, prejudice, discrimination; etc.

I offer a warm, relational, and person centered approach to people of all ages struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, perinatal mood disorders (postpartum), trauma/ptsd, family concerns, and other mental and emotional health concerns.

Counseling is a process in which a counselor and client work together in a professional relationship to resolve concerns or issues that the client is experiencing and chooses to bring to sessions. It is my belief that the therapeutic relationship is purely client driven as you (the client) are the expert in your life. My theoretical orientation is diverse, I blend "Reality, Adlerian, Cognitive-Behavior, Gestalt and Client-Centered" therapy approaches to help clients maximize their self-awareness. I work closely with clients to assist them in increasing their positive thoughts/images in effort to promote efficiency in their overall thinking, coping and behavioral patterns.
