I am a clinical social worker and therapist licensed in the state of Washington. In my practice, I see children, adolescents and adults of all ages who may be experiencing difficulties within themselves or in their relationships with others or may be seeking a journey or self-growth and change. My style is based on the belief that in order to best assist my clients in reaching their goals during the psychotherapeutic process, I need to know when to listen attentively, when to offer practical advice and when to bring attention to deeper internal conflicts that may cause suffering.

My ideal client is one that I can have constructive dialogue and work together with to explore their issues and cultivate an understanding with both interpersonally and therapeutically in order to foster the best outcomes possible for their treatment. I myself like tactful but direct communication, so I'd ideally like to see the same in those I am working with.

Welcome! I am here to help support you in navigating through the challenges life can bring. I strive to create a space which is free of judgment and full of support, in order to foster healing and change. As a therapist, my goal is to encourage your strengths, support you in meeting your goals and identify patterns which may be hindering your growth. I practice from a strengths-based perspective, meaning that I believe each person has a valuable and unique life experience that shapes and informs the choices we make and how we live.

I assist adults struggling with depression, anxiety and difficult life stressors. Working together we can explore the impact of hurts, trauma, marginalization, loss, abuse, illness, and bereavement. I also support couples to explore relationship issues or marital concerns or to have useful pre-marital conversations. Additionally, I support individuals dealing with the hardship of divorce or the destabilization a breakup can bring. You may be seeking support in any one or many of these areas.

Hello, my name is Nathalie. If you are ready for change in your life, or you are beginning to wonder what you need to move forward, you are not alone.

Counselor, MS, LMHCA, NCC

The high school years are complicated. Teens are complicated. You're wondering where your happy child went and how to get them back. As a Mental Health Counselor and former High School Counselor that has worked with thousands of teens, I believe this unique developmental stage is deserving of specialized care. Teenage mental health is different than adults and children which is why we have to treat it differently. It doesn't have to be about disorders, labels and canned treatments. I believe teenage mental health is about seeing this complex developmental and transitional stage of life as an extraordinary opportunity for growth.

I love working with people from all walks of life to identify challenges, and leverage your strengths. The same set of traits can lead to different results - for example, persistence can produce anxiety but also lead to mastery and discoveries. Engrained patterns, learned behaviors and circumstances can get us stuck in states that hold us back from achieving fulfillment in a wide array of aspect of our lives - including professional, school, social or family.

Oftentimes finding our vitality comes through processing our wounding. Most of my clients come to therapy after a major life transition and are wondering what’s next. I work with adults who are processing transitions such as ending a partnership, becoming a parent, revisiting a traumatic childhood, or grieving any loss. I also see some teens who are in the rough phase of adolescence and are open to seeing a therapist. Having darker seasons in life is part of being human. I want to normalize and support these more difficult times.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
