I believe people are courageous to face their individual and relationship challenges. My role as a therapist is to assist my clients toward a more desirable future and provide a safe, non-judgmental, supportive environment that nurtures growth and healing. I approach therapy from an integrative holistic perspective. My approach is influenced largely by but not limited to Client-centered, CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy), EMDR (Eye-movement desensitization reprocessing) trauma therapy, play therapy, sandtray, expressive arts, and Neurofeedback Brain Training for individuals and families.

For over 25 years as a clinician I remain passionate in helping children, adolescents and families who are struggling with emotional issues and challenges. I provide services for a variety of issues for children and teens ages 3-18. My patient and compassionate approach promotes healing and positive changes. I utilize a strength based treatment to empower children and teens to be successful and emotionally stable. I establish positive relationships with my clients, even those who are initially resistant to therapy. I follow their lead, knowing that establishing trust is the first step in the therapeutic process.

Hello and thank you for your interest in therapy. I believe the relationship between the therapist and client is the most important part of the therapy journey. I specialize in working with children birth to early teens as well as young adults who have experienced trauma, including sexual and physical abuse, neglect, witness to domestic violence and homicide and attachment difficulties. In addition, Natalie uses several modalities in treatment, including Child Parent Psychotherapy, dyadic treatment for children (birth to 5) and their parents, play therapy, art therapy, and sand tray therapy.
