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.

Looking to change something about yourself? Are you hitting dead ends or finding stuck points even if you are trying hard not to? The good news is that various types of CBT therapy can help you address those themes! Common self-defeating behaviors that I have helped clients with include: avoidance, isolation, impulse control, procrastination, aggressive/toxic communication, substance, sex/pornography, gambling, and technology addiction. Behaviors such as these are often closely linked to unhealthy negative emotions that can fester/worsen over time such as: depression, anxiety, anger, guilt, shame, hurt, envy, and jealousy.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 6 years of experience in the mental health field specializing in ADHD and anxiety.

I started my counseling career in community mental health and also led IOP groups for substance abuse treatment after being in the teaching world for 5 years.

My supportive and thoughtful approach to psychotherapy involves helping clients to take a look at themselves and their choices to determine whether their personal styles are working for them. In this way, clients become more aware of how they relate to others and how to make healthy choices to reduce and better manage stress, improve mood, and enhance relationships. Identifying maladaptive patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving, and making changes in those patterns, helps people to live more rewarding and satisfying lives. Therapy is a process in which people learn to live more adaptively and with more personal fulfillment.

My work is shaped by both clinical training and my own personal recovery journey. I understand firsthand the challenges of recovery and believe true healing goes beyond symptom management.

I have particular experience working with anxiety-related disorders, including OCD, social anxiety, and specific phobias. I also have training and experience using exposure and response prevention (ERP), which has been especially meaningful in helping patients reduce avoidance and build confidence in tolerating distress. I’ve found success supporting individuals as they work through intrusive thoughts, fear-based thinking patterns, and compulsive behaviors, helping them move toward a more values-based, flexible way of living.

Rational Emotive Behavior (REBT) Therapists
What should I expect from rational emotive behavior therapy?
The therapist will work with the individual to recognize rigid thought patterns that sabotage goals and set them back. The objective is to identify, challenge and reframe negative thoughts and enable an individual to understand that they possess control over their emotions and their behavior. This therapy often emphasizes the use of reasoning and self-direction.

Is rational emotive behavior therapy effective?
Rational emotive behavior therapy is evidence-based and is highly effective. It helps a person reframe self-defeating or catastrophizing thoughts and gives them tools to approach a range of circumstances they may encounter post-therapy as well. REBT can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.

When do I know if I need treatment with rational emotive behavior therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with rigid, unreasonable thoughts that dwell in negativity, they may feel stuck. A rational emotive behavior therapist can help a person examine and change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior. This concise and concrete therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.

How long does rational emotive behavior therapy last?
REBT therapy treatment is short-term and focused in nature. It can last for a set number of sessions, ending within a few weeks or months. Like any type of therapy, however, sessions depend on the individual, as well as the severity of their condition or problem. The individual may wish to ask the therapist about typical progress and how long they expect treatment to take.
