Therapists in Toronto, ON
Welcome! I specialize in psychodynamic psychotherapy within my private practice, offering services to young adults, adults, couples, and groups. In therapy, we embark on a journey to deepen our understanding of emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Many individuals I work with express feelings of inadequacy, guilt/shame, anger, fear of confrontation, and a tendency towards people-pleasing. These emotions can manifest, impacting various aspects of their lives such as work dynamics, relationships, and self-perception. Together, we explore these patterns and emotions, possibly rooted in the unconscious, to foster healing and growth.

Do you find yourself ‘doom scrolling’ or engaging in other distractions, hoping they'll help you feel better—or just pushing through the day on autopilot? The demands of work, school, relationships, family, society, and even our own expectations, can take a toll in many ways. Unfelt emotions and racing thoughts can build up beneath the surface, showing up as stress, anxiety, exhaustion, or disconnection. While distractions may offer temporary relief, over time, you could remain stuck in unhelpful patterns. You don’t have to stay stuck or go through this alone.

I’m Natalie, and I support adults navigating anxiety, depression, and self-esteem challenges that show up in work and personal life. Maybe you feel stuck in negative thoughts, constantly compare yourself to others, or second-guess every decision. Work may feel overwhelming, relationships strained, or your motivation at an all-time low. These struggles can leave you feeling disconnected from the life you imagined. In therapy, we’ll create space to sort through what’s weighing on you and uncover new ways of coping that feel realistic and empowering. Now accepting new clients!

You're exhausted and desperately need a good night's rest. Yet, when your head hits the pillow at night, your brain wakes you up like a light switch went off in your mind. You spend the rest of the night tossing and turning for a wink that never comes and prepare for another tiring day.
If you're interested in learning about strategies to improve sleep at night and feel better during the day (without the use of medication), then I can help.

Anxiety can paralyze us. Strong emotions can turn our lives upside down. One sentence expressed in a moment of anger can lead to many moments of pain. Being human has never been an easy experience. In the context of COVID, war, and financial hardship, being human has become exceedingly difficult for many. In our attempts to move forward, many of us rely on strategies we think ought to work, but in fact make things more complicated for us. In the midst of strong emotions, we try to avoid the situations and people that lead us to these experiences.

When we are with another, we are acted upon in ways that may struggle to reach the worded dimension and yet, these articulations of unconscious and somatic life are present without effort or labour. Without reflection or consideration, these states of being may pass from our conscious awareness and find expression through more circuitous routes. I see myself as an aid to make these parts of human experience more explicit and communicable and to hold space for being with the complicated intersections of our shared humanity.

Your experience matters here. Life can feel overwhelming when navigating relationships, work, school, or new environments—especially when identity and systemic barriers are part of that experience.

I have 30 years experience providing counselling to individuals and families engaging with a wide range of issues and concerns. I have experience with parenting and relationship issues, mid-life transitions such as menopause and career changes, anxiety and depression, grief and loss, and addictions. My counselling practice is firmly rooted in a feminist anti-racist anti-oppressive framework.

I work with a variety of clients, though creative & highly sensitive people often find me. I work in an intuitve and neuroscience-based way; brain education is part of my work. Empaths who've experienced trauma or adverse conditions often feel responsible for not 'figuring out their problems' especially when they couldn't possibly have figured them out (as children, adolescents, or inside abusive relationships or religions). If you struggle with these or other internal entanglements and challenges, I'd be honoured to show you clinically sound ways to help you ways to change, untangle brain-body-spirit, and find your path forward.

Imagine, you wake up every morning to go to work, but you come home exhausted, you lack energy to do the things you want to do, and you’re afraid to admit you’re unhappy in your career. You don’t understand why you feel dissatisfied, you doubt yourself, and wonder if there’s something wrong with you for feeling this way. It seems like no one else is bothered by the rat race and/ or mundane routines.
