Hi, I’m Natalie (she/her)
I'm an Associate Marriage & Family Therapist specializing in helping couples who’ve been together for years and are struggling with new parenthood, intimacy, and communication issues.
I also work with women beginning again, whether that be from navigating a breakup or divorce, re-evaluating at mid-life, or reckoning with the aftershocks of a life-altering illness.
I provide affirming therapy for LGBTQIA+ and trans folks. My goal is to provide a space for you to feel comfortable showing up exactly as you are.
How I Can Help:
Couples Therapy
For couples who’ve been together for years and are struggling with fights that keep repeating themselves, lack of intimacy, the challenges of new parenthood, and all the other stuff that keeps getting swept under the rug.
Individual Therapy
For women starting over and rebuilding their lives after life altering events such as a breakup or divorce, peri-menopause or menopause, chronic or terminal illness, and much more.
My POV on Healing:
As Jung put it, until you make the unconscious conscious it directs your life and you call it fate.
The coping strategies we learned to protect ourselves.
The relationships we choose to stay-in, repair, or leave.
The stories we tell about who we are.
Therapy can help you become aware of these invisible dynamics. We can begin to shift unwanted behaviors and give you the opportunity to create new ways of being.
I don't believe healing is something we “finish.” It's a lifelong process of becoming more conscious and aligned with your soul.
