About Natalie

I help people who feel stuck find a way to get moving toward what matters. Whether you are adjusting to a chronic illness, living each day as a series of tasks to check off a list, or moving to a new state for college, life stages and changes have a way of shaking up our world that can leave us feeling paralyzed and untethered. This is the area I focus on because I know these times are also an opportunity for growth and empowerment.

My approach

When I start meeting with new clients, my first priority is getting an understanding of what got them to the point where they decided to reach out for help, the history and context of "the problem," what they have already tried, what's important to them, and what is working for them.

About me

It takes immense courage to begin exploring your patterns and processes, especially the ones that keep you stuck. As your therapist, I commit to meeting you where you're at in your journey, bringing hope and humor when you need it, and supporting your internal wisdom with my training and expertise to help you live your life more fully.
