I acknowledge that making the decision to pursue therapy can be a really big step. Dedicating time and effort toward improving mental wellbeing and focusing on oneself is not an easy task. It is for this reason that I strive to provide a safe, compassionate, and nurturing environment in which clients can feel comfortable leaning into their vulnerabilities. I am dedicated to ensuring that anybody who visits my office feels seen, heard, and validated.

Trying to figure out which therapist is right for you? I’ve been there...knowing you want counseling, but not knowing where to start. It can be an intimidating time, worrying if your problem is too big or if there’s even hope. During our first session, my goal is to get to know you and create a plan together. I have a passion for working with couples and helping them find healing within their most cherished relationship. In our work together, I help couples find the patterns in their relationship they want to change and create a new way forward. A fulfilling relationship includes being able to be seen and heard by your partner.

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.

Trauma is any event that overwhelms one's ability to cope. It can be a major/inherently violent event (car accident, rape, serious illness/major surgery, war/combat) or smaller more complex/chronic events (abuse/neglect, domestic violence, living in an unstable/unsafe environment, poverty, and even religion.) Often people don't realize they've been through something that was traumatic to them. Instead thinking the effects of the trauma (difficulty concentrating, mood swings, fail academically, can't keep a job, chronic pain, chronic relationship problems) are representative of who they are as a person, and feel helpless/hopeless.

As a queer therapist, it is crucial for me to ensure your concerns are taken seriously, and you are able to show up as your authentic self. Therapy means having a brave space to explore, reconnect with ourselves, and express emotions (maybe some laughing, crying, and swearing are involved too). I specialize working with folks that have experienced trauma & PTSD, anxiety, life transitions, LGBTQIA+ related concerns, and survivors of gender-based violence (i.e., sexual assault, domestic violence, human trafficking).

I am a Training and Supervising Psychoanalyst on the faculty of the Chicago Psychoanalytic Institute and I welcome individual adults whom are questioning why their attempts to improve the quality of their life is not working. A questioning individual suggests to me a person whom wants to change and live more creatively. Often there can be mixed feelings about change. I recognize that change is difficult. I feel that self exploration is a challenging enterprise that often requires courage and risk. I would like to help you understand why your best efforts have not worked.
