It can be difficult to open up about your personal struggles to a stranger. Many racial/ethnically diverse clients find it to be a distinct challenge: “we can’t find a therapist who understands our cultural/religious beliefs & it is too emotionally exhausting to explain it.” In this journey of self-exploration and coping with life’s struggles, the last thing you need is a counselor that you need to educate, feel fearful to talk to about culturally sensitive issues due to judgment or stereotypes, or to feel retaliation from someone who is supposed to provide you a safe space. Natasha aims to create this space for everyone she sees.

Therapy does not have to be for times of crisis. Our personal life can often be challenging and stressful and is helpful to talk to someone to process these issues and make more sense of our thoughts. I will help walk you through this, in a positive and non-judgmental way and at a pace that is comfortable to you.

Lets be real. You’re in a bad spot and the last thing I want to do is bore you with optimistic clichés full of toxic positivity and lofty promises of healing and wellness. If you are having a difficult time adapting to everything going on around you and these “unprecedented times”, or if you are frustrated with the collective vibe to just accept crappy circumstances, you have come to the right place.

Grief is a normal process people experience after a loss. Grief can become messy, complicated, and turn us into a tangled ball of emotions. But experiencing these messy and complicated emotions does not mean we are broken or damaged. We just need someone to understand the intense emotions felt on a daily basis. And realize that some days are harder than others, especially if it's a special occasion. Or when we hear a song or see a place that sparks a particular memory. And more importantly we will never "get over" the loss of our loved one. Missing our loved one becomes a part of who we are.

People come to therapy with issues. We believe they also bring the solutions to those issues. Our role is to assist in the process of discovering and implementing those solutions. We have learned by doing our own individual and group work how important it is to "walk the talk". We are prepared to take that walk with you and grow and learn together. You are the expert in your life and our expertise can help you with the next stage of your journey.

The decision to enter into therapy, although often difficult, can be one of the most rewarding choices a person can make. I believe my job as a therapist is to assist clients in making changes that lead to rich, meaningful lives, rather than focusing on the simple elimination of unwanted symptoms. I strive towards a therapeutic relationship that is collaborative and client-centered, providing an atmosphere of safety, understanding, and trust. It is my belief that within this environment, people find the freedom to do the work that leads to personal fulfillment.
