Hi, I’m Natalie.

I believe healing is possible, and that therapy can be a space where it begins to unfold. If something in your life feels painful, confusing, or heavy to carry alone, therapy can offer a place to breathe, reflect, and begin making sense of it.

“We are most fully alive when we are in relationship with others and with ourselves.” — Harville Hendrix

My Approach

  • Explore self-critical and shame-based patterns

  • Understand emotional reactions and behaviors that feel automatic

  • Strengthen self-awareness and relational insight

  • Develop new ways of relating to yourself and others

  • Increase comfort with vulnerability and expressing needs

  • Increase emotional resilience and regulation

  • Address recurring patterns in relationships

My approach is grounded in psychodynamic theory. Therapy offers a space to slow down, explore patterns, and give voice to feelings that may not have had much space before. Together, we look at how past experiences, relational dynamics, and internal conflicts shape your life in the present. The relationship we develop in therapy becomes an important part of the work— offering a space to notice and understand patterns as they arise between us.

“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”

— Carl Rogers
