My personal journey was one that lead me to this field as a calling more than just a career. After years being a successful business owner and real estate broker, balancing career family and community I was lead towards a more balanced path.
Although I do not believe we find enlightenment, I know we can fight for peace and balance. My outlook is that people are not broken, just managing the complexity of life. I know and believe that through hard work, discipline, self - awareness and deep love for oneself and others, peace can be found. I don’t believe we need to be fixed but heard, accepted, and understood to heal!

Hi, Natalie here! I am honored that you are considering therapy and have stopped by my page. I primarily serve clients ages 3 into early adulthood (age 25) who are challenged by critical life transitions and/or unresolved trauma that leads to unmanageable feelings and behaviors. Consequently, I also serve those in helping professions (e.g., education, medicine, mental health, spiritual) to combat burnout/compassion fatigue and related issues. Each client who seeks help desires a break from the overwhelming feelings that cause them to feel emotionally unwell. Thank you for letting me be part of your journey.

Stressful situations or painful events can change the trajectory of our life in powerful and lasting ways. A traumatizing experience such as an assault or accident, experiences of abuse, the death of someone close to you, a life-changing medical condition, losing your job, or major adjustments such as retirement or the end of a relationship can leave us feeling lost, alone, hopeless, angry, and afraid. My goal is to help you feel better quickly through cultivating new coping skills, as well as helping you to grow psychologically so that you are more prepared for the future ups and downs of life.

Everyone has troubles from time to time in their lives. Sometimes we just need an empathetic ear to make us feel heard. Whether it's worries about the future or grief over the loss of loved ones, or even problems in relationships, I look at where these issues are coming from in order to find the best ways to overcome them on a personal basis. Moving forward in a positive way can be a challenge sometimes, but we don't believe it's impossible in any situation.
