Hi, I’m Natalie.

I believe therapy is a space to be fully seen. It is a place to explore the patterns that have shaped your life and to discover ways of relating to yourself and others that feel safe, grounded, and alive. Together, we hold the complexity of your experience, gently navigating inner conflicts and finding steadiness amidst life’s challenges.

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

My Approach

Therapy that listens beneath the surface

Therapy is a space to slow down, explore patterns, and give voice to feelings that have often gone unspoken. Together, we look at how past experiences, relational dynamics, and internal conflicts influence your present life. Our work is collaborative and reflective, aimed at helping you feel steadier, more understood, and more connected, to yourself and to others.

  • Explore self-critical and shameful patterns

  • Understand emotional reactions and behaviors that feel automatic

  • Strengthen self-awareness and relational insight

  • Develop new ways of relating to yourself and others

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

— Carl Rogers

You might recognize yourself here if…

  • You are hard on yourself, finding it difficult to relax or let go of self-criticism

  • You appear competent, high-functioning, and like you have it all together, but internally feel stuck, unseen, or lonely

  • Achievement brings relief, but never a sense of “enough.”

  • Fear of rejection has lead to a more restrictive life

  • Replay conversations, overthink interactions, or worry you did something wrong

  • Withdraw or isolate when feeling hurt, overwhelmed, or unseen

  • Feel like a burden, hide parts of yourself, or feel embarrassed by your emotions

  • Struggle to say no or often put others’ needs before your own

A living room with a grey sofa, a wooden side table with tissues and toys, a vintage leather chair, potted plants, a lamp, and a patterned area rug, with white doors and a green accent wall.
