I utilize DEEP (Dynamic Enriched Experiential Psychotherapy), Somatic Experiencing, and Sex Therapy to work with individuals and couples to disentangle themselves from prior relational wounds and cultivate the life they wish to lead.
Howdy, I'm Natalia and I'm a US-trained relational trauma therapist and somatic sexologist working at the intersections of culture, power, and personhood.

I am a psychoanalyst working with adults and children. I offer support in times of crisis and long-term treatment to address sources of inner conflict, anxiety and distress. My work is grounded in the ethics, theory and practice established by Sigmund Freud and elucidated by Jacques Lacan. It recognises and seeks to articulate one’s singular subjectivity, beneath the identities and expectations we unknowingly adhere to.

Welcome to Anchor Point Practice. I work with individuals and couples who feel stuck in repeating patterns in their relationships, thoughts, or emotional responses. Many of the people I see are experiencing anxiety, overthinking, interpersonal stress, attachment wounds, or major life transitions. They often feel exhausted by the same arguments, disconnection, or internal loops. In our work together, we slow things down to understand the relational patterns underneath the surface — helping you process trauma, build emotional safety, strengthen boundaries, and feel more confident in how you relate to others and to yourself.

I work with people who are struggling with persistent anxiety and depression; repeated painful patterns in relationships; loss, grief, or unresolved trauma; questions of identity or sense of self; conflict around sexuality, desire, or intimacy; shame, guilt, or harsh self-criticism; feeling stuck or unable to move forward; or wrestling with questions that feel difficult to articulate or name.
I'm a qualified counsellor with a background in visual art. In sculpture, my process is one of layering and uncovering—of allowing for something unexpected to emerge through close attention and curiosity. In a similar way, therapy can bring patterns, memories, and underlying meanings into focus. As a therapist, I offer a space where people can discuss their thoughts, feelings, and personal history in an environment that is open, confidential, and free from judgement. My role is not to provide advice or ready-made solutions, but to support the process of exploration and encourage curiosity along the way.

I offer a collaborative and reflective space where you can speak freely and feel deeply listened to. My approach is guided by genuine curiosity about who you are. Rather than reducing your experience to a diagnosis, I seek to understand your story: your history and relationships, and the experiences that have shaped you. When given the space to be heard without judgment, new understanding can emerge, and with it, the possibility for meaningful change. I have over ten years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults across public and private health settings.

Sex Therapy
Who is sex therapy for?
Sex problems are common in relationships. Many people want a better sex life and want to feel loved and desired by their partner. It is difficult for couples to resolve sexual problems on their own because people often feel ashamed to talk about their sexual desires fearing they are not normal, when in fact a very broad range of preferences and behaviors are normal. A sex therapist can help clarify this and other matters.

Why do people need sex therapy?
Many people do not know how to talk about their erotic needs or their emotional needs, both of which are addressed in sex therapy. Couples often live with sexual difficulties for years before seeking help, and in that time, partners may experience so much disappointment and alienation that they may fear their problems mean they are incompatible. Once people experience disappointment, it is difficult to find resolution without help.

What happens in sex therapy?
People have many misconceptions about what takes place in sex therapy. First, it is a form of talk therapy in which partners discuss their sexual concerns; it does not involve touching or physical exploration of any kind. Sex therapy typically helps couples get comfortable talking to each other about sex so that, in the privacy of their home life, they can openly discuss their sexual desires and make decisions about what they want to do. Couples are typically assigned activities to do at home that build intimacy skills.

What kinds of problems do sex therapists treat?
Very often, partners differ in their degree of sexual desire and struggle over how often to have sex. Or they may have fights about porn use or have difficulty connecting sexually after one partner is unfaithful. Men may have problems with premature ejaculation. Women may find themselves struggling to become aroused or to achieve an orgasm. Sometimes partners feel like they have lost the sense of attraction to their partner. These are all common issues dealt with in sex therapy.
