Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming - especially when you or your child are struggling. I'm Natalie, founder of Illuminate Play Therapy & Counseling, a Registered Play Therapist, Licensed Addiction Counselor, and Clinical Supervisor. I specialize in trauma, play therapy, and addiction, supporting children, teens, and adults in healing, connection, and growth. My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed, creating a safe space where clients feel understood, empowered, and supported in creating lasting change.
I specialize in play therapy, trauma, addiction & eating disorders, body-based therapy & Christian counseling. I integrate EMDR, somatic therapy, and relational approaches to support deep healing and long-term growth.
Reaching out for support can be hard, and you don't have to do it alone. Whether you're seeking help for yourself or you child, I'd be honored to walk alongside you. If I'm not the best fit, I'll help connect you with one of our skilled therapists at Illuminate who meets your needs.
