I believe that therapeutic change comes from the process of building and maintaining relationships while remaining connected to our sense of self, including within the therapy room. I work primarily from a relational and psychodynamic stance, meaning that I am interested in how your past experiences impact you in the present. My approach to therapy is also informed by attachment patterns (how we act and feel in relationships) and somatic sensations (what our body is telling us about our environment).

I am passionate about working with people who have experienced trauma as well as those who are neurodiverse. Often those intersect in a variety of ways. I have found that people who are ADHD, Autistic, or AuDHD can have more difficulty with processing their trauma due to coping mechanisms and masking. My goal is to help those who have experienced developmental trauma/emotionally immature caregivers as well as those who experienced more obvious trauma(s). I strive to work with people to be able to validate their own experiences, find and believe the truth about themselves, and for them to live their lives authentically.

You are seeking to become the best version of yourself that is in true alignment with your inner being. You may be struggling with: anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, relationship and or, couples concerns, grief and loss, and low self-esteem. You yearn to deepen the understanding of yourself and the relationships you keep or have let go of. Life offers stages of change, loss and transformation, and we often find ourselves surrendering to merely being. You may get caught up in the day to day tasks and easily forget to take time to pause and reflect on what is really happening on the inside.

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.

Let’s be honest, it’s no secret that life can be full of unexpected twists and turns, some of which can cause a ripple effect on ourselves and our lives. But how do you manage when those ripple effects aren’t for the better, and leave you struggling with where you want to be in life? Sometimes even admitting that we need help can be one of the hardest things to do, so it is so important that you connect with someone who can provide you with a safe, supportive environment where you can be authentic and not mask what’s really going on.

Living a “life worth living” can seem like a path only others get to travel, while our journey feels unfair, exceedingly difficult, or at times impossible. At times we discover that our struggles are the result of the choices we made, or the choices others have made that affect us. At other times, we unknowingly hold onto faulty beliefs about ourselves or others, living as if they are true or accurate. To cope, we develop strategies to make the journey seem more doable. They can indeed be helpful and carry us toward our goals, or be the very obstacle that prevents us from achieving our potential.
