Welcome to my career counseling & coaching practice. It is my intention to support people in finding meaningful work that fits with who they are and what they want. I assist them to find a new career, reinvent their existing one, navigating their education and making sound choices that are in alignment with their goals and dreams. I have been working as a career and personal counselor in public and non-profit career centers in Switzerland and in Silicon Valley/USA, for the city of Zurich, and in private practice. Being bi-cultural and having lived in the US and Switzerland, I gained multicultural experience.

Hello, my name is Natassa, I am a California Marriage and Family Associate Therapist, meaning I am qualified to work with people of all ages regarding concerns around important relationships, life changes, stress, anxiety, trauma, and depression. I enjoy helping people to learn how to connect to themselves, others, and their values, but also to understand together the story of their past while creating hope for the future. I am passionate about supporting people to adjust their thinking/perspective, to learn ways of soothing and caring for themselves in moments of distress, and to find courage and joy in their relationships.

The private practice will offer you a warm and caring place to build skills and enhance your personal growth. Therapy is a guided process of self-discovery. Whether it begins in response to a traumatic event or at a time when positive change is sought, old patterns of behavior and thinking can stand in the way of healthy communication and feelings. Therapy provides access to strengthen skills so that new and healthier thoughts, feelings and behaviors take the place of old unhealthy ones.

Together we explore in complex or/and challenging life and work situations your personal strenghts and ressources. I work with empathy, kindness, social intelligence and on *eye level*, respectful and humorous (if it fits).

"We live life forwards, but only understand it backwards" - Søren Kirgegaard. As a systemic counsellor and therapist, I always see people as part of a system. What they experience there, which values are represented and how they communicate with each other decisively shapes us. Like a mobile, every link and every movement has an influence on the rest of the system. This way of looking at things helps us to look at our own system from a distance, to better understand its origins and connections and to initiate appropriate changes.

My therapeutic approach is a blend of neurobiology, Polyvagal Theory, and attachment oriented psychotherapy with somatic approaches. I believe that a collaborative and trusting relationship is the foundation of effective therapy. My goal in my therapeutic work is to create a space where clients feel safe, accepted, and supported to be curious and explore any and all aspects of themselves and their lives. 

Are you comfortable being authentically You? Is your genuine self optimal? Would you like clarity and support? Are you happy, kind, generous, or are there other qualities that you would like to address? Life and life transitions including transformation can be challenging. Do you have an abundant or adventurous or simple and light lifestyle? Do you need clarity and support? Would you like to better understand and share yourself? Do you have healthy Relations? Do you take good care of yourself? Taking care of others can be challenging as well. Do you have questions about parenting or lifespan development including spiritual practice?

NOTE: I am unable to accept new clients and my waitlist is presently closed. For all my clients I offer an open, non-judgmental space in which to share and feel heard. In therapy, we can explore your experience and make sense of it in a meaningful way. Perhaps you’re caught in a negative cycle that seems to never change. The past could be triggering you in the present, leaving you feeling confused and out of control. Whatever your struggle is I offer my understanding, support, and expertise while we work together to swiftly help you find the relief you both want and deserve.

Is your relationship in trouble? Do you want to develop better communication skills and increase intimacy, respect, and affection in your relationship? Or, are you suffering from feelings of jealousy and insecurity in your relationships? Would you like to overcome obstacles that are standing in your way of you becoming the best version of yourself? Is an international relationship or the ex-pat life leaving you feeling as if a part of yourself is missing? Are stress and anxiety overtaking your life? Do you just need an empathetic ear to listen to you and coach you through a personal or job-related problem?

However unwell you might feel in this very moment: things can become better. Being healthy - both physically and mentally - is a process, not something solid or given. In your work with me, we will draw on this part of you that is already and ultimately healthy. My goal is to give you the space, encouragement and professional support you need to find your ways to cope with your life’s challenges. Together, we take the time to explore what is difficult, pain- and stressful for you with the major goal to identify and strengthen your inner resources, enabling you to understand, overcome, and outgrow what keeps you down at the minute.

You may feel like you are not living the live you really want... Or you may be living it, but you notice you cannot be fully present and engage with it. The stress, anxiety or struggles of the daily life may be getting you, and the difficult thoughts & feelings come on the way... to pull you around, and away, from what really matters to you.

I like to approach my work with compassion, humor, and authenticity. I work with individuals seeking to recover and grow beyond adverse or challenging life experiences, or who simply want to cultivate a healthy inner life, and I have a special interest in treating anxiety and trauma. I believe that compassionate illumination is what opens the door to transformation, belonging, and interior freedom. So, an important component of my practice is creating a space where people feel safe to open up about hard things. Whatever you're carrying, I'd love to journey with you.

Do you often miss your True Authentic Self? In other words, do you struggle to make own decisions because you fear judgment or hate upsetting others? Do you feel like you sometimes stand in your own way of living your potentials? Do you want to take your life and life time very seriously, yet, feel stuck and don't know how to actually manifest your visions and calling into reality?
